And 2 goals. Nothing more frustrating than that.

Really hope the Oscar interview is going to lift the spirits

same at Leeds - 2 from 2

Anything is possible - but it's about intent from the club. The transfer activity so far this summer has been uninspiring, without Bridge we are weaker than last season & with an incomplete squad. It doesn't seem as if the club is seriously going for promotion this year, we have hit the ceiling, but we will see come Sept 1st.

Staying in The Championship there was no way we could tempt Bridge to sign for us when Reading can pick up the phone and offer him £28k a week. I think we will sign a couple of players before the transfer deadline with 3 or 4 more signed as loanees.

So, Koosh has yet to make a save this season then?

 

[Mr Banana]

We can have ten times more shots than the opposition every game - we ain't gonna win any of them unless we develop a semblance of cohesion and organisation. Complete shambles defensively. Had the feel of a relegation team.

Oscar quashes speculation re: Liam

 

[Ninja Elephant]

We were not very good today. But my seat is nice.

He had to tip a goalbound shot over the bar at Elland Road late in the match , that alone makes 3 shots on target to the opposition from the 1st game

does seem that way

We can have ten times more shots than the opposition every game - we ain't gonna win any of them with them unless we develop a semblance of cohesion and organisation. Complete shambles defensively. Had the feel of a relegation team.

A but harsh? The young left back looked out of his depth at times and we missed any forward possession from that position but Upson and Greer looked OK to me. Second goal was a perfect cross - first was just a lack of somebody winning the ball in a critical area. Not great I agree but not a complete shambles.

Oscar thanked fans for support.

JB thinks pay offs are a pipe dream

 

[mune ni kamome]

Steady on. Two and a half million pound striker on the way back from injury in case you've forgotten

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

We'll all be feeling better next week after we do the business at St Andrews and Spurs put 6 past THE SCUM.

 

[Dick Head]

We are useless. New left back and left midfield is required.

Didnt cut them open once through the middle.

Played Buckley upfront didnt work at all.

Only positive is probably one extra games experience for ince!

And for Oscar.

 

[Mr Banana]

Second goal was a perfect cross

Just...no

We weren't brilliant, but we weren't that bad either. We don't seem to have the knack of turning the ball into the net as well as the opposition (as evidenced by the stats). Give it time.
