Our passing has been really poor in the main tonight. We don’t look anywhere near clinical enough.
Yes, missing the vital openings and passing the ball at men forcing the direction of play backwards. Sloppy at times, too. Have to endure periods of this and still believe.

A few more promising moves, as I type. We'll still get a few chances.

And Muric makes Nick Pope look like Iniesta.

I’ve seen nothing to suggest he can actually pass a football. He’s been incredibly lucky at times.
He can't.
He thinks he can but he can't.
Problem is he can't position himself either.
Yet to see if he can stop a shot he's not really made a save. But I am extremely worried by him.

Well - with both the ref. AND Sky’s commentary team united against us, what chance have we got?
Not like - say - we could try and play better?

League 1 teams would offer more of a threat here. I just watched West Brom have 19 shots against this lot 4 nights ago
A snowflake? I assure you I’m nowhere near melting. This is a not really a controversial opinion,either.

We’re rebuilding. It’s silly to bust out the hyperbole in game three.

Not many who are likely to win it in the air. That's not our game any more. Crying out for the Ukrainian lad or the like.

Vitinho really strikes me as having something. Got one brief touch and came alive with it for that corner. I'd like to see him start.

Better outcome for us that. Vitinho pushed it too far. Keeper would have beaten him to that

Too much pretty football with no penetration, we are letting opposition teams all get back behind the ball and then can`t open them up, VK has a lot to learn about the championship.

Personally it's more "Not sure what people DON'T see in Lowton". Yes he doesn't overlap much, he sits deep, he's not the type to beat a man, but he's defensively excellent and has a real good deep cross. Very underrated player and one I'm sad to see sidelined even at 33.

Not true NC93. We’ve been far more effective this 2nd half. Just not enough. But 3 games into the project, we’re learning. Hold firm

We’ve deserved something out of this without a doubt. Still short of a decent forward and it’ll take a while before Kompany works out what his best team is. I’m not unhappy.

Absolutely but that is what happens when you develop a "style". Even though we think they're "rubbish" they still are mainly the prem team from last season. That is not easy to beat.

A long way to go in this season. I'm not panicking yet. I said from day one that I have concerns over a team of small players. We haven't finished our transfer business. A lot still to play for. 46 games plus.
