Shooting our selves in the foot!

Should be on 31 points after the last two matches and we’ll on the way to winning the league.

Schoolboy errors are going to cost us.

The defence is a joke....,FFS.....sort it out Bilic.

We need two quality centre halves in January and push Ajayi into defensive midfield.

We will end up ruing these last two results.

Mick, today was a great spirited attempt to win with 10 men. The ref gave them a penalty for no reason. two players hardly coming together and he gives a pen. Ajayi's face was a picture. You cant question today at all.

Semi Ajayi was having a mare from what I had seen...and topped it off by giving the penalty away....
I am ok with not losing...but a little disappointed with the results....but I agree our defense is very porous and there is no confidence in it.....it lacks a dominant individual...not sure if Hegazi is it but he does appear to be missed...
Two home games no win and yet we are still two points clear...so much better positioned then I could have thought at the start of the season...
But yes Mr Bilic...please use your experience and improve our defending...with that squad you have...
best of luck with that.....

Push Ajayi into midfield. Would you drop Sawyers Mick?

No - I would drop Livermore and he will be the next red card!!! Not being disciplined cost us last year!!! Stupid penalty and whether it was a pen or not - you should wise up in the last minutes/seconds!!!

W*nker ref! 😡

W*nker ref! 😡

Just in the pub reflecting
Perreira was by miles our best player again the dink over the player and volley to the wing for HRKs goal was awesome

Sawyers is neat n tidy but him and Livermore offer no help to the defence so I agree with Mick and have said it all season maybe Ajayi and Sawyers would be better

Ferguson’s tackle was stupid and not needed at all, he doesn’t seem at the races at all last couple of games

The ref was a clanger from the start
Never a penalty, but why don’t we try and keep the ball in the other half, our retention today was awful

We look dangerous after we concede as we have more urgency
We are a bit over confident

Hegazi needs to come in dunno what’s up with Austin at all

Brunt hasn’t lost the ability to wave his arms

HRK should have scored that 1 on 1 to make it 3-2
Furlong had a decent chance with a header too at 1-0

Preston are doing well coming back from 0-2

W*nker ref! ��

The game now favours the cheats. The non-contact aspect of today’s game has, in my opinion, diminished the game to something unrecognisable to the football of my younger years and therefore, not so enjoyable.

Watching all the World Cup rugger at the mo, what an absolute breath of fresh air.

As my love for rugger grows my love of football dies.

Football has much to learn from rugby. The TMO, far better than VAR. Everybody knows what the ref is doing and why. Simple really.

Ref, plain and simple.

Teams that run away with the league win those 2 matches comfortably. This season is going to be tough and we will do brilliantly to make the top 2. Personally I still go with my pre season that I we will be in the play offs.

Bilic came with a reputation from his hammer time that his side could not defend and it seems to have followed him here. I wouldn't be adverse to getting Hegazi in and playing 3 at the back as I feel our fbs can bomb on and the standout player for me so far, Darnell Furlong will excel even more, in a back five.
