Do you:

a) bring your two best attacking subs on straight away?

or

b) wait 10 minutes to bring on one of them, then wait another ten minutes to bring on the other one?

Same old shit every week, really frustrating how we're SO SLOW to react in the dugout - bring Buckley and Kazenga on after 50 minutes and I reckon we'd have picked up at least a point today, maybe all 3.

On a general note, I do not understand why we have to wait until the hour mark before bringing on a tactical sub unless we're losing. Baffling.

We are toothless but also so unlucky it's not true, no penalty ogs home refs knock down rebounds added to the fact we can't hit a barn door!

Heard it all tonight then, same old shit every week - how many games we have lost at home this season ?

I make that 4 but do carry on making a CAUC of yourself

to clarify, same old issue with subs every week - we waste 10/15 mins each game fannying around with Lopez when everyone in the ground knows LuaLua is coming on.

We quite clearly weren't shit today.

Look, the team was playing very well. I think the staff are getting hugely unfair criticism in this case... Yes, they could have changed it a bit earlier, but both Buckley and Kaz only seem to have 30 minutes in them at the moment. Maybe that was why?

Let's not get carried away, we lost because we were profligate (which we have been for 4 years) and because of an uncharacteristic error at the back. Move on ladies and gents, we'll be fine.

Lets be honest, unless we're trouncing every team 8-0 each week then some buffoon is going to have something to complain about.

I often sit here and wonder if people are a) serious, b) posting to get a reaction or c) have some sort of problem.

I have never seen any manager who makes knee jerk changes after going behind, even when two goals. I'm not entirely sure why, but if you're using it as a stick to best Oscar with then you obviously haven't seen much football.

On 9/10 days we would have got something. Rosler knew he was lucky, one of those days...

I guess it depends in whether you are completely battering the opposition and are creating way more chances than them and have been bit by two sucker punches or not. We played well from the start yesterday, our game plan was working and we were by miles the better side, we just couldn't score.

Well said. I don't think anyone could complain that we didn't have a plan B today. Two attacking substitutions and throwing everything at them bar the kitchen sink. Everything was right bar the result.

If Upson hadn't made his first mistake of the season and Bruno hadn't kneed that harmless cross out of play for a corner I'm pretty sure that we would have won. Just one of those days. Move on.

Exactly this.

This

I thought we played well for the most part and were well in control, and the stats confirm this. The bottom line is that we had 23 shots, 6 on target and only scored 1 goal!
They had 7 shots, 2 on target and scored 2.
