    Harsh. Will be remembered for the goal but Forrest was nowhere to be seen.

    Johnston provided a lot in attack today. Should've had an assist.

    Kuhn not playing hindered him defensively , Forrest was good going forward but Kuhn tracks back and helps more

    Looked * after 25mins and treading water, got done by Silva far too often by just being weak.

    Has had a poor season and was off it again today. I would like to see him as a squad player from here on tbh.

    Has been off the boil this season but I don’t think he was poor today. Maybe a couple of lapse of concentration but he was solid overall.

    Was poor for me but watch their goal back..

    I don't know where Forrest was and he was on his own against 2 with no one close..

    He's been alarming though with his often he gets done and stands off though..

    Ye know what watching lundstrams tackle on him again he was actually very brave to throw his body in the way like that definitely putting himself in a position where he could’ve easily been badly injured to stop them getting onto a slack pass. Never does shy away from a physical battle tbf.

    True but he’s not a great defender, tbf. We need better.

    Constantly turned and caught wrong side of Silva today. Left 2 on 1 for the goal which wasn't his fault.

    Never looked the same after being scythed by cuntstrum.

    Losing my patience with him.

    I don’t disagree mate. I really liked him last season, this season I think he’s been off it for the majority, maybe it’s down to rushing back from injury, I don’t know. I’m hoping he comes back improved next season, on his form this year though I definitely wouldn’t be against getting in a new right back but not sure whether the poor form was maybe from rushing back from injury then a lot of games without a real break.

    Torn on him as a player. Willing to give him the summer and a more settled side around him. No reason why we couldn't afford to buy someone that could realistically challenge him.

    Done my nut in defensively in the first half-and attacking in the second half. Silva seemed to have his number first half.
    Really liked him last season but way aff it this entire season.
    One of the many positions we need an upgrade.

    Took one for the team there massively, planted his foot as he knew the tackle was coming - that could’ve done him some serious damage. Brave as they come

    I think he done fine to be honest. The goal he cannot do much about. He is 2 v 1 and had no help at all.

    Yup, not his fault at all. He was left 2v1 against 2 excellent crossers.

    Definitely not. He was very poor though. That's on him.
