    Poor. 3rd game running where Clarke and Roberts are being doubled up on so we have pretty much nothing going forward. The one time we had a runner go beyond their back line (Neil) we scored. Too ponderous in possession and no creativity in the final third.

    If my maths is correct we’ve conceded 5 goals from 7 shots on target in the 3 league games this season

    Poor too slow and deliberate. Why do we do this at home but play with freedom away
    And this tucking the fullbacks in is annoying the hell out of me achieving nothing but leaving the wingers exposed My plan. Get in the box more and pass to roberts

    That's how it's going this season, their goal was a result of a scuffed shot which fell kindly to the striker
    1 shot 1 goal.
    We need to test their keeper a lot more - Jobe's header was straight at him and he let it in.

    Far too narrow at time, need to keep the fullbacks wider earlier

    Jobe better since hes gone upfront but we have to move the ball quicker this half

    I wish we would put our free kicks into their box instead of what we usually do (tap it a couple of feet sideways then back to the goalie)
    Every other team attacks with their free kicks and it causes us all kinds of problems.
