Our supporters were magnificent, some of our build up play was way higher than L1 , but the defensive frailties were there for all to see.
No ball winner in midfield, which must be top priority in January and a more pragmatic approach away from home against the better teams
We have the base to win the league if we strengthen in the right areas and pick the right team and tactics

Now sillybrown if we had of played Norwich tonight and they played a few of their fringe players I would kind of agree with you but we were playing one of Europe's biggest clubs who's second string included players worth over 200 million combined. So my point is this log off and feck off you clueless idiot

Don’t want a defensive midfielder it’s a false economy as they are usually shite and the term defensive is a euphemism for can’t play football.

That is totally our experience with defensive midfielders. I didn't see the game, but it struck me when I looked at the team that we looked short of a ball winner though.
 
Haven’t watched much of us this season, but I thought tonight proved we’re a decent football side. Nowhere near PL standard, but too good, footballing wise, for League One. Unfortunately we might need to kick our way out of this league, but rest assured, if we do go up, the likes of Winchester, Pritchard, Neil, Embleton, Cirkin and, if we can get him, Broadhead will stand us is good stead in the championship.

Can't believe the amount of stuff getting chucked down on us tonight.
Embarrassing really.
Thought we did well considering, especially first half, great that we scored too.

Arsenal ‘fans’ came down to Chelsea level tonight. Worst home support vocally you will ever come across. Shame really as I have a lot of time for Arsenal as a club. Imagine if we had that sort of setup

Well, Doyle was absolutely crap but he'll improve and isn't our player. The stand out naff player who gets regular games for us was Flanners, looked way out of his depth. Gooch didn't exactly shine but you have to ask, is he a left wing back? Pritchard and Neil looked comfortable all night, that horrific attempt at a tackle aside Embleton showed flashed of quality. Winch looked a fair bet to make a step up. Hume was a disaster but I'll cut him some slack, he's barely kicked a ball for yonks.

He was also up against Pepe who so far into his comfort zone he could have worn slippers tonight
