Spare a thought for those of us with audio only. I have never heard such loud, sustained, concerted singing and chanting. Puts things in perspective very forcibly. The 80/20 possession stats earlier in the game were pretty chilling too.
Having said that, it sounds as if we’ve had some good chances but……oh no, a third.
We've pissed about with the formation here to the point nobody has a clue what we are supposed to be doing. They'll be very happy and grateful. Couple of big clubs we've played so far but given them both too much respect. Own worst enemies.
Rightfully punished again. Once the data comes through they’ll realise Grimmer isn’t a suitable top half right back / centre back. Certainly not a centre half in a back two. Run his course.
I'm still fuming about Wrexham, as a win there takes the pressure off. As it is, the longer we sit on 0 points (or even the odd draw) the more the pressure is going to build once we finally play "beatable" teams.
Overall not too bad a performance, in game knocks forced subs that perhaps we wouldn't have made, but we battled and another 3-2 result was probably a fair one.
Being realistic, I stand by my comment that if we'd scored a second first we could hold out for a draw.
As it was, once they scored their second a third for them was quite likely.
We made a fist of it by getting back to 2-3 and, while I'm disappointed we lost, by means am I disappointed by the performance.
We may end up on the wrong end of the result next week as well but, if we keep up the level of performance, there's no need to be concerned that we'll start winning games after that.
We are too predictable - no pace through the middle and today a real inability to pass to our players. Didn’t have a clue how to deal with Laird. Kone too exposed on his own against 2 big CBs. Fair play though they were decent - looked sharper - played better even though their fans were arrogant tosspots.

I enjoyed us lumping it up from goal kicks all game, until we brought on Vokes then decided to play it short.
Update: I don't have to worry about being shocked.

A fair reflection of the game. Next week the pressure builds. No Taff? Might need to sign Lonwijk in a hurry

I don't think we have been unlucky in this game though. We have been played off the park!
I’ll take a dozen or so of those this season please.
Feed the Vokes and he will score!!!
Nice one Vokesy !!
Vokes could be the best impact sub we’ve had since Tony Hemmings.
It wasn’t a tactical change was it? Taff was hurt.
Then he gets man of the match 😂 Sadlier would think should have been
He actually seems fit for once, will probably want to start soon.
MOTM ?
Wait for it. A certain Gasroomer is going to be gobsmacked.
But he will have heard the name announced no doubt.
Vokes looks like he’s on whizz. Impressive display.
Very good showing again against excellent opposition. Some tactical moves I disagree with but that’s life. We are great fun to watch though.
Ah man, good fight, if nothing else it's two of the more difficult fixtures out of the way. There's promise in that squad.
There’s no remedy for played two lost two but that’s the best team we’ll play this season.

Be positive , tough start but scoring goals , a few concerns about defence but think we will do ok this season . Vokes 2/2
Not short of entertainment despite two losses
I don’t know what whizz is. But I could probably do with some.
Absolutely.
Yep. Pretty obvious why we brought our 2nd choice right back on to enable moving the only other guy who plays centre back over.
Big positive is that Vokes looks a decent threat early season. No doubt helped by playing the Bayo last season late sub role.
Such a shame the last chance fell to Scowen
Not his strength.
Although nor is playing as the advanced of the mids which Bloomfield seems to like doing.

Yes our passing was too often inaccurate or under hit, probably one of the reasons for building the Desso pitch at Harlington.
We did occassionaly string together some nice moves but we must get better at keeping hold of the ball.
