Our In game management did us no favours again today. Late with subs and Brunt into midfield say no more.

Individual errors cost us today. Maybe we just don't have the quality to get out of the division, realistically.
Starting team selection was strange, considering the recent acquisitions. But Moore has had the 'maintain a winning XI' philosophy since he took over, so fair enough.
What i found really bizarre was Moore's decision to take off Robson Kanu at 2-1 up. To give Kanu his due, he was probably our best player today and when Murphy came on, the shape of the team just seemed all wrong. I understand Murphy was probably brought in to replace Robson Kanu in the team, but when the guy is having one of his best games and we're up, why would you take him off?
All that said, it was a shambolic mistake by Brunt to gift them the win and you can't plan for that.
The table isn't looking particularly favourable for us in terms of automatic promotion now. I don't think we have the balls to do anything in the playoffs either.

This will be a learning moment for Darren. Tony Pulis is a dinosaur but he’s a useful dinosaur capable of organising a team to be a nuisance.
Currently Norwich are beating Leeds and are going top of the table. We’ll be 7 points off the top 2 if it stays the same.

Josh - Darren needs to learn how to learn? he may get somewhere then.

It’s funny how we see a game differently. Unlike Slick, I thought Kanu was totally ineffective and, whilst working hard, contributed nothing. Whilst JRod and Gayle were not hugely better, they both scored and are always likely to do so. For me, this doesn’t apply to Kanu - I honestly have no idea what BD thinks he adds to the team.
Today was a wretched performance. I know it was individual errors that cost us but the midfield was lightweight and had no creator or pace. Pulis set up two banks of big players and we had no idea how to break them down. The substitutions in the second half were the wrong ones. Pulis schooled BD today.
Also meant to say that I listened to BD’s post match interview on WM on my way home. Five minutes of utter nothing. I love the guy but I’m really struggling to take him seriously as a manager
