    Seems fine, was probably just breaking up play as we were starting to get on top

    Just saw their first goal and Patto should definitely have come for the high ball.

    He was rooted to the goal line.

    Be interested to see if the spurs interest is genuine if we had to lose any starter I think he’d impact us the least

    I can't understand how we do the same thing so many times. Isidor receives the ball on his weak foot, takes a couple of touches to get it on his strong foot, by which time the defender has him covered... so we blast the ball straight at the defender anyway. We need to be making better decisions.

    That Isidor shot is what I was talking about on the data thread. We get into the opposition box so much and so easily yet create such poor chances and take shots from really poor positions.

    Take the extra pass.

    He never does. Unsure what he is being taught by the GK coach although that should just be a natural thing.

    Need to retain the ball much better in the second half, Jobe especially.

    Really poor half, Ballard goal gives us a life line, need some more energy and calm heads, we can absolutely turn this around

    Given how poor that half was , I'll take 1-2.

    However, something needs to change. We are far too easy to play against. We are flat in terms of shape and people are just running off the midfield.

    Rigg has hardly been in the game. Jobe keeps getting dispossessed and there is nowt in the front 3.
