    It's mental how far he's fallen off a cliff in the past 12 months.

    Need a second. Wouldn't bet against this lot nicking a goal from somewhere.

    Glad JWP taking the corners now. The up and unders weren’t working.

    I have to say he looks like one of our weaker players in this game. Gave the ball a way and has a heavy touch

    Pretty dire first half (if I was a neutral, I wouldn't be sticking around for the second half). But that's not really the point. Tonight is all about progressing to the next round, and without getting any more injuries or suspensions. And on that front, we're half way there.

    HT. Didn’t really look threatened, but need to reassert ourselves early on in the second half. I’d swap KWP for Chauke and push Valery forward. Maybe bring Che on for Long at 60 minutes.

    Edit: N’Lundulu has really impressed me with his positional play, dropping deep and holding the ball up. Watts is good too. Diallo and JWP are very good together.

    Given his age it was going to happen sooner rather than later.

    Long is a one touch player, that's all he has had so far...

    Very dull game but a weakened inexperienced squad started well. We’re winning which is what matters. Good experience for them so far.

    I think they showed us too much respect and we haven’t made the most of that. When the ball goes into Diallo and JWP, back to goal from our CBS, they have time to turn and bring the ball forward. Play on the half turn. It’s as if they are expecting the The Shrews to be like PL players and right up tight. They’re not and haven’t been.

    I’d expect them to be a bit more aggressive this half.

    we need to be braver on the ball with passes forward and dribbles or beating a player. I’d be expecting JWP, Diallo, Bedders and Jack to bring the ball forward further. The space is there.

    It’s something we’ve talked about recently, but if JWP is playing in the deep quarterback position, I want to see him go for some quarterback passes. He has the ability.
