We had our chances, sadly Watkins reverted to type, you have to score when you have the chances in these games.


Yep, you need to take your chances when you're away to a team fighting for the title.  It was a bad miss, but he's not to blame for our capitulation in the second half.

This is all about missing Onana and Kamara in midfield today.

Losing Onana when and not hanging Kamara has really killed us.

Gifted them the game.

Yeah, hard to blame Watkins today, if one wished to do so. The loss of Onana and Kamara did us.
