    Not sure 1 goal makes up for shocking defending most games, Triantis scored a goal last week that’s as many as O’nien all season I think?

    Got to be the flatest 45 think I've ever watched, lads aren't helping the crowd and vice-versa.

    I’d like to see Clarke appear somewhere other than the left wing. I know he’s best from there but he’s pretty predictable to defend against in terms of stopping the ball getting to him. I’d have him all over the fecking place and keeping them guessing

    Poor. We haven’t looked great for a few weeks for me now. Still there to be won but the patterns I’m use to seeing just aren’t there. Think mayenda has a bit about him

    just that half did. To me at least. In terms of pace and quietness of crowd.

    True.. I have the most faith in Rusyn who is making the runs though, pressing the back line, willing to get a shot away.

    Watched the compilation video of all our goals from last year and Stewart's movement was brilliant. He’d run in on goal whenever someone else had a shot, was comfortable shielding the ball to play in a winger. Then you’d have Joffy, who wasn’t as successful, but he was a tough lad to push off the ball once he dug his heels in. Our current crop just seem too gentle, you need to be a proper pain in the arse, make your presence known. He’s over the hill, but I’d have loved Ashley barnes here for a season. Wouldn’t expect much of a goal return but I think he would been great at bringing out the best of our 10’s and wingers.

    I’d leave him on and bring Burstow on for Roberts through the middle. We need to go route one / direct a lot more. All this tippy tappy stuff is getting us nowhere

    We look half asleep, needs tweaking at half time. Seelt looks game and not a bad footballer but unsurprisingly like a CB playing out of position.

    I was thinking O'Nien was our best player before he scored so player of the half for me. Everyone ahead of him needs to sharpen up although Mayenda and Adil have been alright. Clarke too.

    Good team who create chances for their forwards. Streets ahead of us.
