    Shows something when we are split on here as to whether it is a 3 or 4 at the back!

    Maybe pick up after a few of our players lighten the load at half time.

    Roberts and Amad playing well. Stewart feeding off scraps.

    Roberts has done better since moving wide right and Amad into the 10.

    Can't believe TM hasn't brought on Evans for Michut - he's on a yellow and being outfought

    Not putting Evans on is a strange one.

    Looks like we're playing a back 4 with O'Nien that far up the pitch!

    It's just a language thing though rather than a different view point isn't it?

    We're playing that lopsided formation that we always do. When we go forward it's 3 at the back with Hume being a wing back, but when we defend it's a 4 with Hume slotting back in.

    We describe Clarke as a wing back but he's effectively playing left side of midfield. He doesn't have the freedom that we give our right winger but also doesn't defend as much as Hume on the other side.

    Better start to second half need to keep it up. Always struggle against teams who are quick and physical. Just a learning curve for the young lads. Keep playing our game

    I keep flicking between channels for good luck but it isn't working. I've tried everything. It worked the other night!

    Ridiculous decision not to change that midfield at half-time.

    Great chance for Amad. Keeper saves. Corner
