We lost again, end of. A side that has few goals, no midfield and a piss poor defence. Add to that a rookie DOF and a very, very rookie HC, a recipe for disaster.
I won’t even mention those at the top who “run” (an oxymoron by any standard) the club and have given us 8 years of dross and decline.
What could go wrong!

I didn't see much difference between the two sides tbf apart from their fluke 1st goal and Gibson falling over for their 2nd. We missed better chances than both - Phillips twice and Koumas. Soutar and Souza were decent for them but thats about it. I saw the game in a very similar way. I think we are very much in a minority though. I keep reading they could have “upped it” had they needed to but I’m not sure they could. They were a cery typical championship side, similar to when we were beaten by WBA. Functional at best. Solid enough but nothing special. Sums up this league really.

Please, never play 5 at the back again! We don't have the players for that, something we have proved over and over again! Did Pelach really think that was why we rescued a point against Bristol!!??

They didn’t need to break sweat after the first 15 mins or so of the second half. This made our gradual entry into the game look effective.

Thoroughly deserved defeat. Hope that kills the 5 at the back experiment. Still think we've got enough quality for it to click if Pelach can just work it out. With Pearson and Lawal in the middle and Gallagher up top I think we potentially have a decent side, keeper is a big improvement, the defence is still poor though and we always look like conceding. We’ve been completely dominated by the opposition in the last two games, we were very lucky to get a draw despite being 2-0 at home to Bristol. Pelach needs to pick up some wins soon otherwise it’s going to get toxic, he’s not going to get a full strength side any time soon so he needs to find a way to win with what’s available to him. I hope it works out as I can’t be doing with yet another manager and rebuild. Pretty fed up by this point, I’ve wasted too many Saturday afternoons on this shite. Pearson will be nowhere near fit and up to match speed this season, this will result on only one outcome, frustrated player, late tackles and red cards. Pearson is not the saviour this season or any season.

Just back and a very dark day .
1 The Squads lack of physicality totally exposed again . 2 The Head coach just heading for the inevitable lucrative trap door 3 The behaviour of a minority of our supporters disgusting
The abject mess of a summer yet again exposed by the inevitable Campbell goal against a team that hadn’t scored in 4 away games , an increasing dislocation between supporters and leaders over the managerial change logic .
clear evidence we will play our season out fighting relegation probably failing
As depressing an away day as it gets

I would agree that they were nothing special Souttar the DM and Arblaster looked a lot better than anything we have the rest much of a muchness but they have Hamer to come in Ohare will get better and Mooore has a lot of know how at this level, what do we have, six away games scored one goal in the League Norwich and Bristol were also much better than us so it is getting to the stage where we have tostart to look at teams worse than us.

Well that was shite,zero fight and only got close once they'd given up really trying. It's not looking good. relegation battle now I'm not sure the result changes that one way or the other tbh but the lack of fight is the biggest worry, either from the players or the manager, we didn't exactly go for it in the last ten.

Walking away after the game, heard a couple of Blades talking… “We were poor today… but they were rubbish “.

Not as bad as last ~75 Vs Bristol
