Should have won but at least didn’t lose! Weiffer MOTM. When he went off we conceded and looked weaker with Ayari on. Waste of time bringing Fergie on. Needs to go out on loan in Jan. Pedro frustrating but kept going to his credit. Dunk much better but JP terrible. We were lucky Wet Spam didn’t have a decent striker to expose us further. Mitoma good 1st half then bad second. At least a better team performance than of late

Good second half performance.

Lots of positives today.

- Another point on the board
- Great goal and performance from Wieffer
- Subs looked great and dangerous - Lamptey, Enciso, Minteh
- Better team today away at WHU
- Dunk looked solid again, and involved in attacks, with an assist

A few negatives

- Ferguson's lack of confidence is becoming a liability, other players would have won it for us. Needs to be loaned out January to rebuild confidence.
- Another soft goal to give away IMO
- Should have won this today, had plenty of chances, and a bit of bad luck.

All in all, I'm satisfied. A highly entertaining second half that we could have/should have won. It's progress out of this poor run of form. We do need a win PDQ/ASAP though.
What other players would have won it for us?

We deserved to win imo and were v unlucky. But it's still a game about converting chances!At least we weren't sucker punched in the final minutes! OK mid table mediocrity but we do play entertaining football (aside from the Palarse game).

I don't get it. How do we play? What is the system?
All I see is the worst defending since we entered the Premier League and a bit of attacking flair but not enough.
Nobody picking the ball up centrally out of defence, Caicedo, Gross and even WBG would show for the ball to give the defenders an option other than out left or right.

Nothing wrong with keeping your feet on the ground fella.

We're not Liverpool. Although we do have a very good squad and expectations should be high, the reality is our young squad will have spells of poor form. Our players will make mistakes. We will have disappointing results.

Important to see the bigger picture.

What's important is that we see improvements, rather than regression, which we saw today.

This performance is quite clearly a step out of our poor run of form, and we'll be back to winning ways soon 👍
Errmmm… what? I meant there’d be one criticising Ferguson despite him only getting 5-10 mins. As per my post earlier.

I'm a Ferguson fan, but we have passed the point now where we can say "maybe it'll be better next time".

He needs a decent run of games which we cannot afford to give him. He needs to regain his confidence.

Fortunately, the January transfer is just around the corner...

I agree. He needs a loan to a side that’ll play him. If he’s not starting a game like today, he’s not going to start consistently for us.
