    terrible half hour that mind...roberts hardly had a touch, clarke had that one run where he had players free both sides yet just ran into a player (again) and fell over hoping for a free kick...and a ref that blows for a free kick when we have an advantage but lets them play advantage, seemed to blow every time one of them fell over yet we are left with two lads on the deck and he allows them to keep playing.

    Any balls into our area cause chaos

    Yelling at his own team, trying to make a point, lost possession and almost resulted in us conceding. Wants dropping for that

    Too disjointed now. I couldn't tell you who is playing where.

    This team are so young. Personally glad that someone has actually stood up and tried to have some influence, even if it is a bit misplaced

    Feels like too many little flare players. Need a big striker on but obvs we don’t have one at the minute. Like you say, just feels a bit disjointed

    Agree to an extent, but not sure losing possession for the sake of making a point was the right way to do it. Could have shifted the ball and then had a go at them.

    It's the second game in a row where we've made too many attacking substitutions. Clarke is in a new position every 5 minutes. Benette is just wandering across the entire pitch, Ba so far up the field that we're letting them have the ball in dangerous positions behind our midfield.

    It's nice to "go for it", but we need a plan rather than just keep throwing attacking players on and hope something happens.

    there’s a lack of movement ironically caused by a lack of structure

    yeh I’m all for making attacking changes, in fact I think it’s necessary. But moving players around different positions and replacing them with new players who also lack tactical familiarity is just asking for incoherence
