Yes, I have to agree. We were well beaten all over the pitch tonight, Royston were too fast and had too much quality. We never looked like scoring in the second half, very disappointing. Where do we go forward from here?

Very poor display tonight. No attacking threat at all. 5 narrow midfielders and one striker up front is not working at all. Why are we persisting with this formation even when we are behind in games?

Royston wanted it more 1st half in the heavy rain, we just wanted the changing room .

Did we ever have a plan A or did the weather cancel that.

Second half we didn’t know what we was doing . Royston easily went into game management mode.

They thrived in the weather we didn’t

Well off it tonight in every area of the pitch.

Royston are a decent outfit to be fair, one of the better teams we've come up against i think. They were comfortable in every area, very rarely going with the long ball, they played some good stuff. Clearly have had us watched as from the first minute they were playing those diagonals to beat our full backs.

Their third was absolute class at any level, but to be honest we were beaten at 2-0. Jesse did well to react, but our goal was a gift, we offered very little other than that.

The 2 full backs have got to go, nowhere near good enough for this level. Using the lottery money to fund luxury players like Ravi, who is an absolute class addition, seems crazy when we could use the same money to probably get two replacement full backs who can actually play the game. We've shipped far too many goals that are solely down to the two of them.

Shit weather, shit football, and disappointing after the recently improved performances

I agree that the full backs need to go, they aren’t good enough, we had better in the UCL!

Second best all over the pitch. Something needs to change, yes it was a rainy Tuesday night, but any more performances like that and the crowds will get lower.
