A match to forget really, apart from an excellent goal from Chuks. Lots of individual errors, and the defence as a unit having an absolute mare, so we end up losing 4-2.

    Lost to bottom of the table. 

    Embarrassing.

    Shambolic. Any of them starters could be dropped Saturday. Morgan and Chuks only 2 who made a difference . Some pathetic individual defensive performances

    £10 feels more expensive than it did 4 hours ago.

    To play like that for 50 mins, what on earth do we practice in training all week? That is my concern - the lack of drills, movement, pattern and desire.

    10 Different levels of shite. I know we dont have CB's fit, but we lost that game in the first 10minutes, and that because Bowyer got the shape and setup wrong.

    Terrible defensive performance needs CB’s back ASAP. Don’t understand professional players not having the right boots on!

    Well played Burton Albion.

    Thoroughly deserved. 

    Only one team focused on this game.

    Back to the drawing board.
    Pearce back in. Rest Gunter.

    Well not bothering playing Plymouth and Rochdale went well! All momentum lost. 
    Build again from here.

    Hopefully just one of those games so i won't get too downbeat about it. We need Innis and Famewo back ASAP as we really miss their stability. Try and get this one out of our system and get the right reaction against Ipswich.

    Dogshit performance. Bowyer left Pearce on the bench and played 2 makeshift CBs and it's cost us - that loss is on him. Even Deji would have been a better option, surely?

    Maddison looks a waste of space, Morgan and Chuks the only good players.

    Waste of a game in hand, against bottom of the league. Big game on Saturday against Ipswich!

    Really poor tactics. It was clear within 10 minutes playing from the back was not going to work (Burton did their homework). 

    We've got away with no centre backs playing until now, but today got found out and the rest of the team didn't pull their weight in the main.

    Morgan and Chucks must start at the weekend surely. How Williams gets in the wales team i'll never know!

    Morgan and Aneke need to start on Saturday.

    That was a disgraceful performance even accepting our weakness at CB.

    Pearce and/or Deji should have come on at half time.

    Amos rubbish, Maatsen hopeless, Pratley useless, Gunter clueless, Matthews ok, Gilbey unfit, Watson ok, Shinnie off par, Madison waste of space, Bogle anonymous, Smyth ok, Aneke good, Morgan very good, Williams needn't have bothered, Washington ok.

    The only positive is we cannot possibly play that badly again... Can we?

    We literally gave them all 4 goals,and somehow missed enough chances to win 3 matches,I am afraid if we dont get some centre backs fit soon,this will continue.

    One of those games. Let’s not pretend other teams don’t have them. 
    Two calamitous mistakes. Maddison doesn’t look a Bowyer type player. Some decent chances missed.
    Since lockdown that’s two insipid performances. The main reason is the loss of our thus far excellent centre back pairing. Nothing more sinister than that. 
    Win on Saturday against an Ipswich team that have been tonked at home today and had an added time comeback on Saturday and we go third/fourth.
    Not worried in the slightest. A bit of a wake up call for the squad and us and a reminder that the we aren’t going to stroll this league. A long way to go so expect some more bumps along the way.

    Horrific defensively. All over the place positionally.

    Lack of urgency. Lack of determination. Lack of quality on the ball.

    Gifted away goals. We have to play centre-backs at centre-back. It’s not rocket science. We had two on the bench today, start at least one of them.

    Maddison done absolutely nothing and went straight down the tunnel.

    Morgan and Aneke has to start on Saturday. A fantastic finish from Aneke.

    We are a much better side with Morgan, Aneke, and Washington on the pitch.

    Huge 3 points missed.

    Overall, to lose the way we did against bottom of the league, who had only won 1 game in 19 before tonight, it’s simply not good enough.

    Half that team can’t tackle.

    It wasn’t that we lost it was the way we lost, no fight, no bottle no organisation.

    How the fuck are Maddison and Gilby starting over Morgan, Bowyers mates I guess.

    Pratley needs to play in the midfield from now on. He's not a centre half and our other midfielders play worse without him. If that means there's no place for Watson so be it.

    This sort of performance happens every season, not going to get too down about it

    A few moments during the match (Maatsen not realising he was kicking the ball off the pitch before Aneke came on; Aneke clearing Washington's effort at the death) made it clear that we were never getting a result tonight

    Burton did really well, they knew we didnt have two Centre-Backs so kept gambling that the makeshift duo would make a mistake IF they were put under pressure and we duly did - If anything its something they learnt from watching Gillingham who were too happy to stand off us rather than taking the potential risks

    We're certainly missing the balance of a settled Centre-Back pairing as showed against Doncaster in the opening salvoes of the season, am a bit disappointed that Bowyer didnt just throw the game and put Oshilaja and Pearce on to give them minutes ahead of Ipswich

    On to the next one, certainly not panicking in this part of Medway!!

    To ship 4 goals against the bottom side is appalling - can't trot out injuries as the excuse.

    I thought defence was going to be our main strength this season. Shouldn't be this disorganised.

    I hope Ipswich play badly this Saturday.

    shite performance 
    we had our best defence  missing but we were playing the bottom club.
    keep this up and we will not get top 10 let alone promotion.
    nip it in the Bud BOWS and get our injuries fit and back before we start slipping down the league 👎👎👎
