Are you brain dead? In a game that in the first half we were kicked from pillar to post with no protection from the most dreadful refereeing display I have seen in a long while, we had the courage and resilience to fight back, take control and almost win the game. Too call that game "dreadful" is disgraceful!

Indeed Looked so much better with Powell and Allen working together Jayden also linking well with both of them Tyrese not match fit but the only way to get that is to play Didn’t look too happy playing out wide however He doesn't have the stamina to play out wide currently and he won't press like Brown will in the middle. He's a bench player for me until he sorts it out. Been the game lots of criticism for Tyrese

Looking at the table, playoffs definitely gone. 8 points off 5th with a game played more. What table are you looking at? I'm seeing us as 6pts off 5th, and also 6pts off 6th with a game in hand?

What the fuck? Did the clown on Radio Stoke really just say 'I don't see what sort of 'hard' questions we can ask O'Neil about the referring because Stoke drew away and are in a play-off place'. Since when did 10th get a into the play-offs?

I support MoN and his plan looks to build a younger team. I see no point in going up as we simply would not be competitive and right back down. You can see the potential of what he is building but it will take another year.

We shouldn't be surprised that we look 100% better with Powell on. He's one of the best players in the Championship.
Keep him fit and we could have a good season. JP-B is going to be a star as well.

For all those who criticise him, Joe Allan changed the game. He stemmed the tide in midfield. We got control in midfield which allowed us to play. Then once Powell came on, we started to look like we could win it.

JPB just needs a few games to get his confidence up, then he'll be skinning full backs for fun. He's an outrageous talent.

Who are the pundits? I think one is Jobi Macanuff, who's the other guy? He's quite sensible.

Terrible first half but our 3rd name in 6 days so let them off… but still should of be 1 up at HT!
Shock horror now Powell is back that 433 is a better formation for us. Need a RB and Campbell needs to swap with Brown and play him through the middle. Bursik is sorely missed as well. Sorry but Bonham needs sending out on loan!

You know it's possible to criticise a player when they play poorly and praise them when they play well and Allen did do well when he came on. Playing with better players always helps and that applies to anyone.

Don’t care about the play offs, we are no way near ready for the premier league. Just som optimism from good performances and seeing this youngish team develop is fine for me

Powell is a lovely footballer. Just a complete natural with the ball at his feet. Head up. Doesn’t need to look where the ball is. Got that gorgeous jink of the hips that so few possess.

I wasn't impressed, not one bit actually.
I miss Souttar. Seeing the present defenders have the ball is a nightmare. It always ends with a pass to the keeper at one point. What's the point with that? No self-confidence whatsoever going forward.
The attacking center midfield needs more split vision and pass the ball to the right wingers much faster when they were running like mad out there; we would have had 2-3 golden goal opportunities.
Impossible to pick a Man of the match. The keeper didn't do much wrong apart from a dreadful pass once.

This squad is more than good enough to beat anybody in this league and if we had it from the start of the season more than good enough to get automatic promotion. It’s just so frustrating how at times we look so good and and others we look clueless. There is still hope, if we can put a run together we can still make a challenge for the play offs. Find the formation and team that suits us and there’s hope.

Find the formation and team that suits us and there’s hope. Not convinced enough to put money on it here, I thought we'd turned a corner v Hull & Fulham. We've then dropped big performers, For all the huffing and puffing we're not picking up enough points. No play offs this season then a change of management in summer please. This is a strong squad imo we should be winning plenty of games
