Strange commentary - more interested in colour of boots and hair-styles! Eg "the sub Clarkes luscious locks" on for the bald Pratley.

If anyone thinks Kelman is the solution, they need there head checked, one goal in the opening league game, since then nothing bar an awful Newport team, Wigan dropped him after two games last year, Ruel was often laughed at but he is twice the player and nightmare to play against, Forde too

Blimey, what a really poor penalty.

You may wish that, but the real fans who watched it know differently.

Totally agree.We desperately need Theo and Graham back ro give width and the ability to take on full backs. Our finishing was dire tonight . Cannot see us getting many goals this season with Kelman and Agea as finishers. Perkins and DJ ( cannot spell surname) are very poor . Wiellens with the additions added to squad has his work cut out to keep us in L1. Our near first team squad tonight were beaten by a team of boys..Another 2 mistakes has cost us tonight. Howes positioning for the second goal was awful.

Craziest thing about Kelman is that he is technically the most “high profile” signing we made this summer. Let that sink in. He was the “exciting” player Travis promised us….

Kelman never has and never will be a CF or middle striker,end of. We cannot score goals with either Kelman or Dan A playing up front on their own. Wellens has so put an end to his stubbornness and find a system that plays 2 stikers up front together.

Just back from the game. We got matched stride for stride by an energetic set of young lads who never gave us an inch and were technically very good. Our midfield was never given a chance to play with the ball by them. The only place we dominated was in the air. Having said that, they never dominated us - but you would not have expected a team of 17 and 18 year olds to.

This was their 3rd team - and they had 3 players away on international duty - but by all accounts it has far more promise than their U21 group. I'm not sure how many of their boys will make it as pro's, but they gave a good account of themselves tonight.

As for us, I can't say anyone stood out. I may have said the Oxford lad was an asset - but he then went and got bullied for their second goal.

Brown pulled out late with a groin injury (Wellens post match interview)
