    Roberts always better combining with someone, didn’t have that last season.

    Unexpected side effect from getting Browne, but a great one.

    Got away with that there mind. Should be 1-1.

    Good half from us.

    Need to continue to move it quicker and need the ball to stick in the 9 position.

    I think Mundle would be a better option TBH.

    Not read thread so don’t know others sentiment but think we’ve been poor.

    Roberts and Jobe have both been good though. Really like that Jobe seems to understand his body a bit more now. Just little things he’s done.

    Mayenda is awful mind

    Definitely some teething problems with the style of play but i'm happy with that so far.

    Mayenda is getting eaten up by Goutas and Chambers when he tries to challenge them but i've liked some of his link up play and his confidence to get on the ball.

    Jobe has been good, Browne as well.

    Cirkin best player on the pitch.

    Good half from us. Pleased with the attacking intent and some nice play. If we can get the CF position sorted we will be a real threat.

    Solid enough, like brown, better decisions in the final third could have had us comfortable, chambers old manning mayenda a bit but he’s looked a threat

    Good half, the better side but they had a couple moments at the end

    We look.dangerous in the final 3rd, can already see the quality that browne brings to the team

    Mayenda started well but last 10 mins or so hes looked a bit off the pace.

    Jobe impressing me with his movement both in n out of possession

    A good half that.

    Dennis Cirkin just gives us a great balance down the left. It'll give Clarke more space to do his thing.

    nice half that apart from the sh1te commentary i have here...

    took us a while to get started, couple of mistakes by the lads but think we controlled it after the goal.

    hope this ref balances it out 2nd half, they seem to be getting away with a few niggly fouls where our lads are not, cirkin must be the most fouled in the first half, so many pulls and pushes on him, seems they are trying to stop our left side.

    liking the roberts/browne work down the right though, hopefully a good partnership growing.
