Chickens and heads comes to mind as we are looking poor at the back and we are lucky not to be down by more. Nigel needs to dress them down during the break or we risk going home with nothing. Statistics don't win games - goals do.
Vyner back to normal and Scott should not be playing where he is struggling big time.Messengo playing more back passes than forward passes. Needs tweaking second half.
Scott redeems himself with the pass to Conway to tie it up. Well done just what we needed at just the right time.
All level at the half but we sure know how to makes our nails shorter when we play poor defensively and the usual suspects look weak with both their play and decision making. Massengo frustrates the hell out of me with his persistence to make hospital passes with most of them backwards when a better option is quite often available. Our forward play looks really good even though we had many missed chances in front of goal but those are the breaks and we have to dust ourselves down and be grateful we aren't losing by two goals. Jekyll and Hyde comes to mind and both of them need to get on the same page in the second half to give us any chance of taking home three points.
Nothing to do with position, decision making and passing wasn't great..Overall I think he's done ok....finds loads of space out there, just needs to compose himself a bit......Massengo had a great first 20 mins, pin point passes, but once they scored his passes were poor.. Just need to concentrate more at the back, get tackles in quicker, we allow them to set them selves up.. NP's HT team talk is now key for me..
Half-time player ratings Dan Bentley - 5 Zak Vyner - 6 Kal Naismith - 6 Rob Atkinson - 6 Alex Scott - 7 Jay Dasilva - 7 Joe Williams - 7 Han-Noah Massengo - 6 Andi Weimann - 6 Tommy Conway - 8 Nahki Wells - 7 Bentley struggling..
Where do you think he should be playing RR because he does look a little out of touch on many occasions. When we fall back on defence it looks as if we have too many players falling over each other to confuse the plot and that's when we get into trouble with flailing tackles that leave us vulnerable to say the least.
I think Scott’s game time needs to be managed this season. Remember he didn’t get much time off in the summer due to the England tournament. Young players can burnout with too many games and too much pressure. Once James is fully fit, I expect NP to be able to rotate Scott, Williams, HNM, King and James more often.
Utter chaos after a shocking pass out of defence by Naismith almost cost us another goal. Vyner and DaSilva are shocking. Semenyo comes on and scores - go figure?8&? Funny old game isn't it???? Let's go on and win this one just to shut me up.
We ridden our luck and now e get some in our favour with an own goal, but we will take it any time. 3-2 and nail biting time.
