He was poor last week and had a couple of below par moments tonight but has been one of the better tonight (considering its all been a bit flat!)
Poor half. We look far too rushed and some of the players are showing massive rust. Watson and Wilson specifically. Preston have had a good go TBF, I would be thinking about changes. Some player Wilson but he does miss some sitters.
Again, do we think we just have to go through the motions? I'd like to see either the wingers take players on and get to the byline or play through balls for our forwards to run onto.
Really poor on the ball tonight. Would stick with the formation though, we’ll make chances. Got to go for the winner. Isidor though bloody hell might be the worst of all the misses this season
Shape hasn't worked at all. Neil and Jobe getting swamped in midfield. Only time we look threatening is when Mayenda drops into the spaces. We have been so slack in possession and nothing is sticking with Isidor, Mayenda doing slightly better but not great. Wide players are completely ineffective, probably has something to do with them having to track their wing backs.
Not a single complete cross that half like, that needs to improve if you’re playing 2 up top with wingers. Hopefully just figuring things out first half come out second half better.
Not good enough. Down to formation, not players. No control or structure in possession. I feel sorry for Wilson in that miss. He bas completely lost his bearings. Technique was good. Still a shocker mind. My bet is he bags second half to win it for us now. Mundle for Watson first change. But I wouldnt be too patient with a flat 442 personally. Is that David Corner I hear? Get him on
I'm glad that we've tried 4-4-2 but I'm not sure it's working. We've lost a lot of control in the middle. I like Mayenda dropping into the '10' from an attacking perspective but I'm not sure that adds to our ability to control the ball. Hume's delivery is becoming so consistent. I find it frustrating that we don't have a midfielder breaking their neck to get into the box for those kind of chances. I feel this is something Jobe needs to add to his game.
The whole league looks nervous tonight, us included. Burnley, Sheff Utd, Coventry seem to be struggling. A win here could be bigger than we expected. Watson is disrupting our game at the moment and not tracking back … … I’d have Mundle on now.
Think i'd bring Rigg on for one of the forwards, probably Isidor. Rigg hasn't been great recently but we don't have any link from the midfield to the forwards, would help defensively as well.
Bollocks. Wasnt having a bevvies. Just poured a way too large malt. This is a big bloody game as it stands.
Maybe it's time to give Aleksic some minutes. From the little we've seen, I think he's potentially got that greater attacking threat from midfield.
