Until we scored and just afterwards we looked the better side. Then my internet crashed and didn’t get it back until a couple of mins before half time, by which time it was 1-1 and we looked all over the place.
Really poor from Cirkin. Hume been our best defender recently, Mepham looks jaded, he was a rolls Royce a couple of months ago. Team needs more intensity, they've been the better team
Missing Jobe big time as has been said this midfield doesn't work. I'd like to see Mayenda on he'd cause problems, swap for Roberts who is doing nowt. Cirkin's been doing ok in attack but poor defensively recently, yellow and pen both needless and foolish.
Cirkin owes Patto an apology there after such a great save. Absolutely shyte and needless challenge to make
I would sub either Mayenda or Aleksic for Samed. Samed just doesn't seem to be in the game for me and maybe Ballard for Cirkin who could be walking a fine line to be sent off for 2 bookings
Not from what I've been watching. He wasnt great against Plymouth either I'm not writing him off, but he needs to step up his game
More possession, more shots, over double the amount of passes in the opposition half, nearly double the passes in the opposition final third, same amount of touches in the opponent box. They have absolutely been the better side.
Samed looks average imo. Today anyway. I would drop Neil back and get him off. He might be ok against a sidd whe put us under pressure, today not so much. Drop Neil back to his best position, Mayenda up top with Isidor. Different looking side against this. Isidor needs a mate today, getting into scraps instead of playing. Cirkin a lucky boy. That tackle on their lad was a revenge one, and a nasty one too.
If we had a lw fit, a midfield of Neil, rigg, la fee would be interesting to see. But yeah, Aleksic for samed is a good shout
Their goal was gifted, their possession without much point at all. We definitely need to make a better show in this half but Watford are the poorer for me
Haven’t we has more shots on goal, more corners and more free kicks outside the box … … if we haven’t im surprised. You can’t just pick the stats you prefer.
Think that’s natural when he’s played so little tbf it’ll take a few games to get up to speed. He seems to drop in and cover positions when players go forward like. He’s a DM he’s not there to create really that’s the job of Neil and Rigg today. Feel like not having Jobe and essentially having two midfielders who lack creativity and a 17 year old Rigg is where the games being lost. I know we’re obvs deputising for the loss of both of our wingers but I just can’t help but feel we’d be better off with Mayenda on the left and ELF in the middle. He needs to be on the ball as much as possible.
