Tbf we signed a "leader" in Coady but doesn't appear to have any organisational ability

Will there be a game we don't open this thread? I guess the pay cheque came in for that pen

I dont blame the keeper, was a good save too. Justin leaving his side completely free yet again is a common theme and should be priority position for Jan

I thought we were gonna name the stands in this thread In seriousness, it's probably laziness or inept planning realising they have another block they forgot about

None of us faulted him as a number 2 under Kasper in fairness. And he gave a decent account of himself when he did play in the cup games and internationally for Wales. Then not having any real pre season to start the season as a number 1 when Kasper left. It was a huge gamble and leap of faith but has pretty much tanked from then on for whatever reason. Even the attributes he was credited with have failed, looks a shadow of a goalkeeper let alone whatever we'd seen of him previous. There is no way he was THAT bad before the relegation season, whatever anyone thinks of him. Maybe an overstatement of ability but I'm convinced something also isn't right psychologically or by attitude/application. It's a bizarre transfer story but in the best interests of everyone to cut this time as short as it needs to be

Man do we miss Abdul! Getting a free pass in the team atm with no competition. Was knocking on the door that little period where he was out on the bench but has not taken the chance once the starting berth has arrived. We can't have every player playing it back, we need that gamechanger to take the bull by the horns and give the opposition something to worry about. He needs to step up his game big time. Far too predictable and one trick pony as things stand when we know he's got it in the locker on his day!

The longer the Premier League turn their noses up at the automatic offsides, the longer this farce will go on with drawing the protractor lines. I'd argue it becomes double punishment to effectively run down the clock for the team chasing once the decision is made

I think this was sensible as tempting as it would have been to see it out. Game was likely gone. We need him in the run-in

We get at least a point from the two previous defeats if he played

Today's game was always a free hit but thought we gave a decent account of ourselves away from home. This will be a very different game. And on current reading is winnable! We have to absolutely start on the front foot though at home. Pep will sh** his pants if we take the lead here. And the sort of kick-start we need if we are to stop the blank run. I'm weirdly optimistic but I've seen us give far too much respect in these games before

Him and Soumare are our best midfield pairing atm. Not perfect or ideal but just seems to work and they know their roles

But would all have taken this before the game. I think we'll need to score again if there is any chance of taking anything here though

Have to be more smarter up front. That close to the end of the half you don't lose it on the break. Drive it on, win the foul, take it to the corner whatever So so avoidable as good as the finish was

Could do with them in our back 4 tbh!

Bingo on when we see Justin smiling after making another mistake. At least we have Stolarcyk back

Pep's biggest away win?

Needs to make the pre match montage

The super league will never take off without the English clubs. Perez and co know this hence the desperate media soundbites

Even their concourse offering is much better and they actually use the same catering company! Just wish there was a bit more joined up thinking. There's no reason why the outside offerings at Tigers can't be shared with the KP given they usually don't play on the same day

This made me laugh

Bloody hell what a strike! We really need a set piece taker

Hand so high that had to be a pen. Took so long though

The fact Man City's 1 win in 11 came against Forest

Has just made Ederson look like Danny Ward
