    Disappointing half. It is effortless to play against us. Long balls over the top, through balls, crosses. We can't seem to defend against any of them.

    3 clean sheets since March tells its own story. I'm not confident Ralph has anything up his sleeve to turn this game around

    Really bad first half. No control or urgency. Maybe get Armstrong in for Long and try and keep the ball better. That will free up Djenepo and Redmond to do what theyre good at

    We need to take the positives out of that half...


    :bandit:




    .... it’s only 1-0, could and should have been worse!

    Who’s confident of a Watford level turnaround?

    Truly dreadful half, clueless
    Our recent success based on high line with a high press so today we are sat deep and giving them oceans of room and time to do what they want
    No comment on the defence because we know how poor they are, but PEH is having a nightmare again, Djenepo May as well not be on the pitch and Redmand is scared to death
    We need a miracle to pull this round

    Sounds like it's gone exactly as I thought it would so far with our (average) 2 man midfield being dominated.



    I've got home in time for the second half so any chance of improvement? Opposite to the Watford game...

    Get Oriol on for Hoj. There's a start. Bored of his lackluster performances now. At least OR brings the heat.

    Redmond hooked at HT, probably the right call. He's on a rotten run of form. Romeu in seems smart.

    Ralph taking off an attacker for a defensive midfielder at 1 down? Clueless ****

    (Just kidding, I would have taken any of the front 4 off for Romeu apart from Ings)

    This is the issue. I’m not sure how Ralph, or whomever, can turn **** into good. And these players, particularly the defenders, are the former.

    Been a lot of empty seats at these past 3 home games.

    Hopefully the club take note and realise how wrong they've got match day pricing.
