Poor game so far. Lucky not to be behind.

Would love to see us grind a point out of this one but I can't see this bunch of bunny rabbits keeping a clean sheet

Very obviously, our reaction to Fulham is to be organised and defend in numbers.

Which means we have none of the ball and no outlets.

So our entire game plan is our second half with a 1-0 lead plan, that has singularly failed us repeatedly.

We'll tire, gaps will open, concentration will lapse, errors will occur and we'll get punished.

Boro are comfortably in control.

Right Pauno. A good manager would get Bristow off. So do it because he isn't gonna last 90 mins.
Just push a makeshift in there.
Not a bad performance so far otherwise.

Don’t be too despondant, Reading have managed a corner.

WestYorksRoyal Is it harsh to say Bristow simply isn't good enough for this level?


Who would have thought it? Wilder will have done his homework after the Fulham game to see where our weaknesses are.

It's not that he's a young player who needs time. It's that his career will probably end up being L2 at best. Not like the likes of Camara and Azeez who look like they could become good enough.

Reminds me of early Richards tbh, probably a bit less about him though. Clearly not ready, playing at a level he isn’t ready for and maybe never will be.

Richards got there in the end, probably thanks to several years of exposure and experience he wasn’t ready for. Bristow probably won't, but at least we're giving him q shot (without any choice) unlike some very promising previous Academy players.

Bristow is the clear target in this game and they are tackling our left side. Dele-Bashiru looks uncomfortable playing a role he isn't a natural at. Holmes has looked poor too.

We need to change it up.

Who do you replace him with? Holzman looked out of his depth against Kidderminster.

A forward to move Rino there and Dele in the middle?

Fair play to anyone who went on the 1 STAR coach we took!

May have to. Bristow is in last chance saloon. We are gonna be down to 10 shortly if he stays on.

Camara actually trying to be positive, the entire side improves.

Just needs someone to play good, urgent, football.

I've mentioned him once since the game before this.

I thought he was terrible.

Hoilett’s injury didn’t look all that bad, seemed more precautionary to bring him off.

Camara looks quite lively already.
