    You have your eyes closed for half hour in second half? Would have liked a bit more control to keep my nerves in check anyway

    We may aswell blow the final whistle the second Hjelde enters the field too, my favourite sub is Hjelde on the wing when we’re holding on :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    The one who was talking the most at the end of the match was the lino from the other half. Honestly think he’s given it!

    Think I've calmed dwn from the goal

    I thought the 2nd half was shocking from us tbh, we didn't get our foot on the ball enough and again I thought the subs took too long to happen. The minute Samed came on we seemed to get better control of it, should have happened earlier as Rigg and Le Fee weren't offering anything

    Thought o9 and Mepham did well at the back, and I did like the change to get Ballard on - thought he did well when he came on. Hume I thought was poor again, got beat far too easily and just didn't block crosses

    Jobe class 1st half but he struggled in the 2nd, thought Neil was OK in the 1st but he really upped his game in the 2nd - carried the ball well and won tackles

    Patterson probably gets my motm over jobe (just), thought he was class with everything he did - even his passing was good tonight

    So pleased for Mayenda, 9 goal contributions this season is class for a 19 yr old who has had to play multiple positions

    Felt for isidor with the disallowed goal, I like that he is getting chances but I want to see more with his back to goal. He should have been bullying those defenders tonight and he didn't, he needs to offer more into feet than he does - hope if we do sign a striker that they are good at this

    It's 3 points and we move onto Saturday

    He may well have done eventually off camera. Would love to see the actual wide shot all the way thru to when it’s disallowed. Bear in mind the commentators aren’t at the game for these sky sports + streams so they only see what we see.

    still shocking obviously, just offering a perspective on what might have happened

    they’re gonna be so embarrassed watching it tonight

    Does that say as much about us as it does them though? Of course, no game in this division is easy but we either make them easier or teams raise their game against us or sense blood.
    Anyway, 3 points and move on and as the manager will say, we'll learn from it. Hope we do!

    Haway ya buggers. Talk of corruption and investigation into the ref is a bit Netflix like.

    Officials are in comms. My first thought is a bit of a handball in the mele. Then maybe obstruction by Isidor. Neither would have been great, but their is some sense of logic.

    Reality is a genuine mistake. A bit like our players making genuine mistakes. It happens. Imagine if officials sacked it off for getting grief about mistakes. There would be no game. Players do not kmow the rules...

    Also... 442 doesn't work for us when we don't have natural wide players. I didn't like the system with the players on the pitch and I thought it actually hampered our creativity tonight

    We didn’t ‘struggle’ mind. Or at least we weren’t hugely tested. The two Patto saves were somewhat for the cameras. They had lots of corners that didn’t amount to much and one free header.

    Especially against their 3 at the back system.

    yeh I think it’s clear the linesman has just made a huge error in thinking Isidor was offside from the initial pass. He kept his flag down because it was ELF who got onto the pass originally, had his shot saved and then Isidor put it in.

    the ref and Lino will then have been in discussion about whether the original pass counted as this phase of play and then decided it did at which point the Lino said Isidor was offside, so the ref blew for it.

    They got it wrong, and it could have cost us. But it didn’t. We move on.

    Fair enough, I thought we had a poor patch.

    Would have been fine with Roberts there imo. We just didn’t have enough drive down the right.
