Not the best result or performance - could it be that teams are finding it easier to nullify certain players. Sommerville has been ineffective for weeks - playing a right footed player on the left is surely easy to defend against as you know he has come inside? Rutter as also struggled - perhaps he needs to simplify his game perhaps focusing on retaining possession rather than trying to bamboozle other players with his skill level.

Farke plays in a negative fashion this is hard when teams play for a draw - Farke plays with midfielders who are not creative that presents its own issues especially when Pablo-like creativity is required.

Onwards and upwards only three games left but if they don't find a way to start scoring this season is going to end in disappointment.

That`s a valid point about Summerville and Rutter.
Sometimes when things are not working you have to mix it up a bit and find a way to win.
Swapping Gnonto and Summerville to opposite wings might have helped.
Personally I do like Rutter but he can be very frustrating when he holds onto the ball too long instead of passing or dare I say it having a shot at goal.
It`s correct that teams simply put 2 men on Summerville to stop him cutting inside.
Swapping wings or learning to cross with his left are 2 options available.

We weren't great yesterday but we still had enough chances to win that game.

Gruev Gnonto and Rutter off was the wrong choice. Gnonto was our biggest threat, Rutter was just starting to come into the game, and he may not have been playing great but he can create something out of nothing, Piroe should have gone off instead.

The ref was poop as usual, they were time wasting from the 12th minute and he should have stamped that out straight away. He also seemed to give them free kicks for soft challenges but we didn't get the same fouls. He want the reason we lost though.

Gnonto fitness levels aren’t there yet according to Farke, that’s why had to be subbed. I was surprised he went with Piroe at 9, he can’t play that role well enough and hasn’t worked at any point this season. Joseph 100% should have started.

every team plays with Inverted wide men. the bigissue we dont use the right enough. if we did summerville would get more space.
leeds, leicester and ipswich all played well at the weekend but didnt score. the performances are decent, just need to hit the net.
look at liverpool yesterday. played great but missed their chances

Didn't realise that Blackburn No10 - Sammie Szmodics who scored against us has smashed in 30 goals for them this year.... !!! crikey. We could do with that lad next year as an option whichever division we are in.

He was one of the forwards along with Gyokeres and Moore who I thought would make a difference if we got rid of Bamford.
However we stuck with Bamford and the rest is history
Gyokeres is now worth around 80 million btw.

Don`t they still have 5 games left to our 3 and we are 6 points ahead?
If they win all their games they finish on 96 the same as us if we win all our 3.

Yeah you can bet if we’d had the 9ers in charge at that time we’d have probably got both at the time. Goykares was a no brainer.

Not a chance they’ll win all their games. But yes not out of it now as the top 3 have stopped winning

they need 2 sides to slip up so unlikely.
but you never know this season.
