It’s almost as if the “game model” was a load of bollocks and the manager’s career preference of 433 a better bet.

Beat Boro and this suddenly looks like an excellent run of results given opponents faced. Lose and it’ll look like we’ve missed a trick. Another draw it is.

Much better all round but the corner thing is starting to annoy me as well. Nardi has a preference to punch, which is fine, but we inevitably have no-one to challenge for the ball when it lands.

Decent performance against the league leaders. I too thought the starting line up had us bang in trouble but we turned up and looked like we wanted to play.

I've not given up on Celar just yet, and thought he played quite well in the scheme of things but boy does he need a goal. Problem is that you just can't see where goals are coming from anywhere in this team currently. Don't think we can 0-0 our way to safety......

Still can’t understand how that shot of Celars missed. I was right behind it in the paddock and it was in, it really was in I jumped up and had enough time to say at last, Celars scored but somehow it defied the laws of physics and went past the post

Same here.

There’s either a poltergeist on that pitch or, a bit like my shooting, I could get a bit of a curl on it initially but the bastard thing always straightened out before it reached the target.

One of the many reasons I wasn’t a professional footballer and perhaps….

Was directly in line in the standing - was excitingly close but you kinda always knew it was too wide. A real shame obviously.

From the back row of the Upper loft it looked as if it was always going to be just outside the post.

Cheers Clive, I couldn't understand why we hadn't brought Lloyd on, but you have cleared that one up. We could have brought Lloyd on with Andersen though & perhaps waited until half time for Santos to appearas it happened in the 44th minute.

Not a good idea to make three single substitutions!

Got to say, exactly what I saw and how I reacted. Really did think it had to have gone through a hole in the net, I swear it nestled in the side net. Just a moment from the twilight zone.

The big difference in midfield was Morgan, he was someone happy to get the ball off the back 4, happy to get stuck in and win the ball back and when he got the ball wanted to pass forward. He made some mistakes especially late on but his whole attitude transformed the midfield and got us up the pitch a lot quicker

Varane - '...11 ball recoveries in this game, that bloke who used to paddle about in the river behind the old Shrewsbury Town ground would have been proud of a total like that'. Brilliant!

Spot on report and agree with you and the posters on the separate thread that the referee was excellent.

Yeah ref was class. We give it out so we should applaud when it's good.

From my view I instantly knew it was red - everyone around me was slightly confused at why I was suddenly screaming HES GOT TO GO. But I love the ref, taking a moment, then making the call

Manager switches to his preferred 4-3-3 and look what happens. Maybe Nourry might like to make a note of that one.

I know we're all down on Madsen and Celar, but I thought both were genuinely good on Saturday. Celar missed the chance, but he seemed to me to have a good all round game, and Madsen did some lovely things, especially in close quarters and with long passing.

Definitely much, much better. As Clive stated, Celar seemed to wake up after his leg was nearly snapped in half. He - and we - desperately needs a goal and quickly. I thought he was unlucky not to get his first for us on Saturday. Onwards and upwards!

One can only wonder.

I genuinely think the bloke could still come good. I get Helgusson vibes from him - admittedly without the commanding aerial presence. But he has ability. Let’s see.

The long corner to a player stood on the edge of the far side of the box still seems to be something we don't defend against. Put a player like Chair on the half way line for corners and the oppo has to bring 2 defenders back. We don't seem to do that either.

On the plus side we are much better 4-3-3. If we lose to Boro there will be much ringing of hands again but then we'll obviously beast Leeds away because we seem to do those sorts of things.

Never knowingly right.

I wish someone seated near Cifuentes would lay into him about our corner antics every time we fail to either defend or properly clear a corner due to having all our midgets in our area marking giants rather than posting them to the halfway line

Shit but local

As Clive has said it is incredible that we in the crowd, a few metres away, can see the opposition standing free in the box or on the edge of it from corners. The one where they hit the post people are literally screaming at them to pick them up before they take it.

I don't know how many watched Millwall v Burnley but the winning goal was a cracking header into the top corner. It was a more difficult header than Cook and Dunne had and both headed straight at the Sunderland keeper. It makes you want to bloody weep. We are now 9 points adrift of the Lions.

I know I put most to sleep here with my analytical take on this pitiful football club so for the benefit of the one person who is still reading this I am drawing parallels to our brief stays in the Premiership.

Back in 2012 I thought it was a miracle we stayed up. In the run in we lost the last 6 away games but incredibly won all 5 at home against the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool. If onè of those five at home had been a draw then Bolton would have stayed up. This miracle then saw us make a dreadful start the following season and by mid December we had mustered one win so in effect we were doomed well before the season ended. Our tally of 4 wins in 2012-13 equalled the abject failure of 4 wins in 1968-69.

Last season was another miracle escape which I didn't think we would manage. But like in 2012, the great escape has been followed up by another awful start. We are only a month now from December and if we still only have one lousy win on the board, like in 2012, I fear we will be as good as down. There is a similarity in the way this season is panning out with 2012-13.

Whilst I accept people don't like my realistic negativity I do have to point out the stats as to why I feel this club is slowly dying without investment. You pay peanuts and you scrape the barrel as cutting back to pay off a FFP fine does weaken the playing squad each season. This is why we cannot buy a striker semi decent.

Yes two points against two of the pace setters seems OK, but bearing in mind we blew winnable games against Plymouth, Hull, Portsmouth, Coventry, Derby and Sheffield Wednesday, really means those draws are not good enough. If we had picked up three wins from those six easier games then Burnley and Sunderland would have been great results.

When we played Coventry we were both in the drop zone, we then get two 0-0 draws, all well and good but Coventry won both their games scoring 6 and moved 4 points further ahead of us. My blood boils when I see Plymouth with only one away point and Portsmouth with one win graciously donated by us. Stats like that tell me we are not getting a miracle this time if you cannot beat them at home.
