    Good half and two or three could be subbed at no expense

    That's a monster first half from us given the circumstances. All players grafting to the bone. Will blow and subs going to be important here. Gooch been unbelievable.

    Top team look calm and confident in what they’re doing . But so do we , lads not phased or worried by them .

    Exactly what I thought, Amad should be on for the last thirty at 0-0, or if they score ...

    ... we've already given them a few scares despite being quite reserved.

    Pretty much spot on from Mowbray and the lads. I think we've managed to contain them without running ourselves ragged so should have plenty in the tank for the second half.

    I'm not loving Ekwah's languid style I'd like to see more urgency from him off the ball. I'll let him off for his occasional sloppy play on the ball because it's very early days for him. Done alright though.

    Michut is the answer mate. Need to hold the ball.

    A draw isn't much use tbh, may as well go for it.

    If we're on about subs, Michut for Ekwah and Amad for Gelhardt for me
