Kent still doesn't look anywhere near fit. I hope we ain't playing him into the ground for the sake of it.

He’s completely lacking the pace, acceleration and explosiveness that makes him great.

I’m not sure if the issue is being over player or what but there has to be some explanation.

[Johnsey 1,540]

Said it all season but we refuse to take risks. Every time there's a chance to get in we turn back and pass.

When we do get forward we constantly underhit passes. 

Not sure if it's personnel or if this formation has run it's course but time to start thinking about a change to the way we play. 

[demise 3,516]

We are not creating enough. Morelos barely has any service and i dont see how a midfield of Davis, Kamara and Lundstram can create much. We need to improve and be solid at the back. At this point ill be happy with a draw. 

[KaiserJon 12,393]

Wright for Kent if Kent doesn't kick in to gear and at half time not 70 minutes. 

[The Godfather 71,865]

Unlucky there. 

[Laudrup1984 25,100]

Oh that's unlucky. 

[Big Al 55 9,247]

Good effort

Team is devoid of any confidence. We haven't played well once this season.

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

We keep giving teams too much time to get back and defend

[The Godfather 71,865]

Lundstram has been nowhere as bad as folk are making out 

[Bigdave30 8,700]

Great play, unlucky Rangers 

[Jamie0202 12,261]

Brilliant Kent and Lundstrum. Unlucky.

[shotstopper 765]

Good shot but no bend on the ball.

[SkylineBlue 23,301]

Great hustle from Kent and good feet and effort from Lundstram. Much better.

[EastEnclosureBear 2,919]

Decent effort

[ianb1547 3,767]

how many of us thought that shot would really go in?

[middli 1,579]

Unlucky. Barisic and Kent trying to take people on a lot more positive. 

[Willis 20,919]

Kent smashing into cunts 😅

He shouldnt be playing period. We have better options than a kent who looks like he cant be fucked. Ive no idea if he has taken the hump because he didn't get a move but his general attitude and performances have not been good this season. 

I thought that myself the other week, I wondered if Leeds or someone tabled a bid and he wanted to go but we told them to bolt. 

I based that on absolutely heehaw tbf.

Aribo playing well. Lundstram a man down.

If lundstram is a man down then kent is playing for lyon he's that bad the now, 

We need aribo more central to take the passes from kamara, he can turn and do damage to their backline

[Johnsey 1,540]

Feels like teams have worked us out. They are out so quickly when Tav or Barisic get the ball. 

Better last 5 mins though, Mon the Gers.

Fkn criminal barasic, too fkn soft

Probably true about 90% of the abuse our players get 😂

[shotstopper 765]

Sitter. WE got away with one there.

He hasnt been that good either. I just dont think we have the right balance in midfield. We have very little in terms of creativity. Kamara should be first name on the teamsheet and then others around him to compliment his game.
