Disappointing result and performance, by the sounds of it. Couple of points…

1. Is JOB the new Michael Doyle? You start the season hoping he’ll be used as a squad player, but then realise he’s going to be starting every week - even though he’s been part of the problem for three seasons.

2. How bad is the new RWB if he can’t get close to even making the squad?

3. How long is it going to take to get Scott fit?

4. Swindon fans warned us that LW’s Swindon side drew far too many games. Is it too early to see a trend developing?

This question becomes more relevant with every game. Is TAR injured? If so, the club should say so. He's supposed to be one of our star summer signings and should feature heavily in the thoughts of a manager apparently so keen on wing-backs, but he's nowhere to be seen. What gives?

Forgot the performance, what the christ is going on with this away kit? It was clashy on Saturday, but that was impossible tonight, as soon as it got dark all 20 outfield players looked like they had exactly the same colour shirt on. Impossible to tell what was going on.

About the new right-back - it's a strange one. He seemed a bit off the pace in pre-season by all accounts and is now nowhere to be seen. If he's genuinely out of favour and not unfit, it's a bit damning of our recruitment.
