They are, of course referring to the Carabao Cup game 0-0 after 90 mins. |

Hey BBC! Unsoiled sheets make a nicer bed... One of my hopes for us this season is to have a POSITIVE GD for once. Being hard to score against is a good start.

Lazy Journalism from bbc, a really piss poor report. Summed up by the fact it says Fletcher failed to make an impact, when in reality gave a decent account despite not actually have any sites at goal per say.

Long gone are the days of the BBC being World class at anything. Full of wokester apologists led by Old jug ears himself.

You think if they actually spent 5 minutes looking at our last games 4 games they would see we have now not conceded for 4 games in succession...Blackpool Leeds Newcastle and Millwall. I know it's early days and 2 friendlies and a div 1 side but considering defence was our biggest problem last season rather than scoring 4 successive clean sheets is actually rather encouraging.

I thought that comment of us not scoring as yet was quite pathetic. Very poor and grasping at straws.

How many times in the two games have we forced a genuine save?

I don't believe we treated the cup game as anything more than a pre-season warm up match. The Millwall game was always going to be a tight game. Rowett is a solid manager who sets his team's up in a way which means they are difficult to break down. We also still have some new players still bedding in and a few still a bit light on minutes. As a platform to build on we look solid going forward.

To be fair to the journalist who wrote the story - isn't it usually the sub editor who writes the headlines and sub headers? Or doesn't the Sentinel employ sub editors these days - in the same way that it clearly doesn't employ proof readers anymore?  |

Why bring politics into it? If you think your Licence fee is being well spent on talentless wannabees, you carry on. |

Presumably all of them. Otherwise they would have been goals. I presume unless it was a world class save you don't deem it to be worth the title of 'shot on target' or 'chance'? |

I think Powell might have hit one shot from about 30 yards which trickled into the hands of their goalie. I'm not sure that constitutes a 'save' though if he wouldn't have stopped it may well have made it past the goal-line, so technically it counts I guess |

That's all I'm saying. I'm not commenting on the quality of the chances, which seems to matter to some. Some goals aren't the best quality but still count massively. Oulare's arse springs to mind. |

You can play semantics all day long but the fact is we haven't genuinely worked the goal keeper in 180 minutes of competitive action so far this season. We were crap against Blackpool and OK on Saturday but it's still a massive area of concern. |

We need to get the ball down, get the ball into Powell and get the ball wide for crosses. |

We need to get Powell free from the grind and churn of centre midfield. It's such a waste of a talent. And he just doesn’t need to be there. Mikel and Clucas are good enough to do that. In an ideal world Powell should be scoring 10 himself and creating about the same. He can do that as well if you let him. We have 4 genuine goal threats in Fletcher, Campbell, Powell and Clucas. We have a system that you can use them all in a balanced attacking way. Just bloody use it. It could be so much fun. |
