    The midfield is awful, passing is very poor and everything too slow. Brooks and Armstrong virtually invisible at the moment
    Fraser and Mara on for Brooks and Edozie for me and put a rocket up Charles’s backside

    Stu on for Charles would be such a big improvement.

    Just worrying that we don't have much more midfield cover.

    Just a bit slow and then most times a sloppy pass. It feels like golden balls Mara needs to come on, but we certainly need to crispen up the build in play. Watch us score two in first ten with no changes. That Martin is quite astute, better than all of us

    Edozie is showing well down the left but also showing that he doesn’t have a good final pass. Constantly hits the first man. Sulemana is better at finding a good cross as he makes time to look for movement in the box so I wouldn’t mind if he came on, although Fraser will probably be the first option.

    Passing has been a bit off by our standards with THB and particularly Charles being the main culprits.

    Still fancy us here with us coming on strong later in the game but we look wide open on the break too. One of those games where no result will surprise me.

    I'd like to see Fraser on sooner rather than later.

    Same issue with Sulemana though really. No final product.

    At least Fraser gives us an extra runner for someone to put a through ball in to.

    100% this. Still may come through this one but feels like our long overdue wobble is definitely coming.

    Yeah. RM needs to be smart with the squad now, for sure.

    Nah we had our wobble in the first half v Huddlesfield.

    EDIT: Or was that just papering over the cracks now we had almost climbed to the top of the greasy pole

    Hmm, he was showing more end product I thought before he was injured, but yes, not happening tonight!

    I like brooks but it doesn’t feel like he’s built any chemistry with KWP yet, hopefully this will come.

    Stuey on for Charles, good move.
