Not one player worthy of any positives today and that included all our subs with Gnonto the only exception.
Byram was awful and Schmidt should have played if he wanted to rest Firpo.
Midfield like you say Tad non existent and both our wingers along with Piroe completely off it.
Rodon had his worse game all season and as for Meslier my goodness what a disaster he is despite him saving a penalty.
I said months ago maybe even at the start of the season we will not win the league with that clown in goal.
I would also say he could have saved their second goal never mind the first where he wasn`t even under any pressure.
Surely he has to drop him for next weeks game now along with Aaronson who granted scored a sloppy goal but did little else after that.
He should have definitely saved the 2nd goal |

Professional pride is an interesting concept - seems to me what is missing is the desire to grind games out even when they are not playing well. How many times have you said Sheffield Utd are a poor side yet without a points deduction they would be leading the table. You are correct on paper not as good a side as Leeds yet they keep winning!! Burnley are a good side as good as Leeds much better defensively not as good up front. Interesting run in.
Bonus if you are making £1m+ a year what kind of bonus is going to actually make any kind of financial difference to these players?
Aaronson - what has he actually created since Christmas other than a chance for the QPR player? Lacks basic skills and seems incapable of winning a challenge.

If we had a keeper of the calibre of Sheff U or Burnley's we would be 10 points clear. Both their keeper's have kept them in the auto promotion race. Farke was offered a solution by the owners in January to sort the keeper position and he turned it down... Gnonto has had as many goal contributions as Aaronson but in 1200 less minutes.... tells it's own story. And again it's why we needed a 10 in January. |

they ground out a draw at qpr and preston.they battled to stay in the game at bramhall lane. that's without thinking of others. players want glory. they want to win things. and no matter what yiu earn you always want more. as has been said, a proper keeper we are virtually up. farke, like bielsa and revie has a stubborn streak though. only Wilkinson was ruthless. for, probably, the first time this year farke got it all wrong on Saturday. I expect a reaction at luton. plenty of twists yet |

Simply have to win at Luton on Saturday, and if we want to get auto promotion its a game we bl**dy should be winning. Fully expect a reaction from the players. We have to get control of the narrative. I expect Gnonto to start at 10, Tanaka and Ampadu in midfield (though i would actually go with Gruev unless Amps has a red hot week in training as he looked a way off being able to start).

100% mate and would probably start with Gruev Tanaka with Ampadu coming on last 20 or so.
Fear for Meslier and our centre halves against Luton as they have some size and look good at set pieces.
Go at them from the start and let`s hope we don`t score in the first 5 minutes!!

Darlow for me too but he`s average at best imo.
Said before Cairns is the best of the 3.
With your goalkeepers hat on Tad do you think Meslier has lost his confidence and should be dropped?
Interesting what big Sam said when he dropped him.
Said Meslier wasn`t happy and was angry and sulked for a few days.

meslier is better than darlow but darlow is steadier. less errors.
that's my view.
stick or twist???
I think it's how the other players, especially the back 4 feel.
have they lost confidence in him?
rodon and ampedu play with darlow at Wales remember.
honestly, I've no idea which way farke will go.

That's a good point Tad as I do feel the back 4 have lost it with Meslier and Rodon/Ampadu would prefer Darlow.
Farke can`t win. He sticks with Meslier who has another howler and fans will be onto him for not dropping him.
He goes with Darlow who messes up and fans will say he should have stuck with Meslier.
Oh to be a manager.
That`s what he gets paid for I guess.
