Unlucky ? Apparently it was our poor defending . If we find ourselves in 21st place by the end of tonight it will be our own fault . We've been awful .

FGR have offered nothing up front bar the goal. Hoof ball's not working, FGR winning the balls. Smith's getting nowhere with it. We've looked far more threatening when Ogie's been long throwing and when we've used the wide areas. Smyth has to come on instead of Kyprianou and Khan needs to make himself known.

No way unlucky..Defend like that and you deserve to be a goal down.

FGR not done much. We have looked better than of late. We have no centre midfield. I still think we’re unlucky to be losing.

Hector finally having a half decent game. Playing for two people as Coleman is poor. Ogie been class since on. Who on earth is it that has not been picking him, needs to stop watching football. I don’t get what Khan brings. Smith doing his usual half hearted effort. Ruel should be subbed for Smyth. Overall competing pretty well but don’t like like scoring.

Aside from the goal, I thought the first half was OK ... just that.

Yup, dead right on Ogie. We look way better with him on the pitch. Still in this.

Smith is a lazy sod, I said the other day, in there is probably a League One player if he bothered 100% of the time, he just looks like he can't be fussed most of the time, regardless if Jackett, Harold, Wellens

To be fair the quality of ball he gets is garbage. I don’t disagree but when was the last time he got a decent cross into the penalty box to attack? Not this month.

Probably when Drinnan last started out wide right.

Ruel lifts substitute Smyth up in celebration as he warms up.

That'll be him out for another couple of weeks.

Cracking bit of play straight through the middle, Ruel linking up with Drinnan and Khan. You don’t get that with smith.

Carlisle and Stevenage both 2 down at home, Rochdale pegged back, Oldham and Col U losing. Important to at least hang on!

Why take off the goal scorer and put on Smyth, why not take off one of the strikers who isn't scoring, I don't understand that substitution.
