There’s been some over reactions on this board this afternoon but I think this one probably wins it.
Judging a player who has had probably 30 mins of league game time for us!
The link up with Akpom for his chance before the end gives you some indication

Well a disappointing performance. Given that, it was 2 poor refereeing decisions that cost us. The dive outside the box suckered the ref. Very disappointed the linesman didn't tell him any foul was outside, and it was very questionable as to whether it was a foul in the first place. Then they missed the knee in the back of chubas leg. Ah well.

I'd be starting Archer instead of Forss next game.There’s been some over reactions on this board this afternoon but I think this one probably wins it.

Shambolic performance if you don't match the opposition's desire you are going to lose where was the fight. We played the first half with the intensity of a friendly. Absolutely livid with that. I wouldn't mind they are not even that good.

Crooks is not a striker, far better coming from deep positions, playing Forrs on the wing is a waste, need archer in the line up

Possibly our worst derby performance in my lifetime - and I've been going since 1980.
Looking forward to getting some players in and filling the obvious gaps.
(this isn't kneejerk after the result - even a blind man can see we need reinforcements)
In order of priority:
Striker/Number 9
Defensive midfielder
Goalkeeper (sick of being stressed by 'Mr Showbiz')
Right winger
The squad is thin and we've got rid of our high earners.
There is a play-off place up for grabs.
In Gibbo we trust.

Yes but don't know why.
Before anyone starts I know previous results have been good.
But Crooks simply isn't a striker, he just isn't.

Not sure the second decision, as bad as it was, cost us anything.
Game was long gone by then.
Crooks may not been answer up front but strikers need service which he didn’t get. Far to slow moving the ball with 11 eleven and only when we went down to 10 did start moving more quickly. The first half was like watching the game under Wilder slow and ponderous Howson/Hackney/McGree coming short and passing it straight back to the defender.

Maybe but they still scored through a poor ref decision they won via the crowd leaving us with 10 men.
If he’s that good he’d be starting over the carthorse that is Crooks. I’d much rather develop a player like Hoppe than develop a Villa playerThere’s been some over reactions on this board this afternoon but I think this one probably wins it.
