We were very poor today, can’t fault the effort, but sadly a lack of quality throughout the side. We created one chance all game and somehow Wilson managed to put it wide but that was it…

Playing Worrall as a wing-back is criminal. It’s like (Man) City starting De Bruyne there. I’m sure he can do a job, but you’re just wasting one of your better players…

We were OK for the first 10 minutes, then they stopped Conlon getting on the ball and we didn’t have an answer…

We’re back and that should be the biggest topic. Great day, great atmosphere between both sets of fans. As Clarke states it’s a marathon not a sprint…

Rodney was a marked man today. They were taking turns at fouling him every time he looked dangerous. Ref was very weak in how he responded…

Worrall will be burnt out or injured playing in that system by October. Why tie the hands of one of the most consistent performers and high-quality talents we have available?

By playing Worrall at right wingback you are sacrificing his game for the sake of the team. It was OK in the short term last season but you need a system that plays to your strengths, and Worrall is one of our key creative and attacking players…

As a few people have already posted, I didn’t think we were that bad yesterday. We weren’t great either. Overall I thought it was a poor game of football. Clarke did try to warn us that his teams start slowly…

Agreed there was nothing wrong in terms of commitment from anyone. Just a lack of cohesion. That will get ironed out and although it was poor today I hope people stick with it as I believe they’ll get it right…

Said last season Clarke is a waste of time. Clueless

I am not a one game whinger… I have been saying this for some time. Our manager is a good talker who cannot handle fans favourites. With Brown in the side yesterday we would have finished with 11 players.. The last time Mr Clarke culled as many players as he has here Bristol Rovers were relegated… Yes they came back up but that was so much easier then… Ask Notts County. I hope us fans remain realistic because i feel that we need to be!!
