    Need to see Stuey on to create a bit more, Moussa is doing ok and Mo El is not offerering him that much protection but is also not creating enough.

    He's been playing right in front of us and we've been cheering him on. :)

    0-0 away to Leicester is fine.

    We haven't been terrible, Leicester haven't even worked Bazunu yet. We're just rushing things when we need to pick our heads up and look for a pass.

    ABK best player for me first half. Very calm and authoritative so far

    ABK and Sally look like the start of a good partnership.

    Mara has shown glimpses of his ability but he won't solve our forwards problem on his own and it's not fair to expect that. It's the position where we need more reinforcements along with full back so I'm not surprised we're struggling up front.

    Yep we are well in this if we can just keep the ball more. Mara looks a threat going in behind their defence though when we can counter.

    I think Ely has been poor so would like to see Stu Armstrong come on for him.
    And Moussa, keep this going! Doing well so far.

    Everything down - no Xbox, no broadcasting hut and can’t get any of the streams to work.
    Back to reboot everything and try again …. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Game totally passing JWP by and Mara too isolated. That’s what needs changing this half.

    Stuey and Che on to link the play better and we have a chance of knicking this.

    James has seemed off the pace the last couple of games. Is it because he’s started so defensively before and now isn’t quite fitting in to the “new” system with the players around or is he missing Oriel?

    He always starts a new season slowly but gets better and better as it goes on.

    Maybe a change to 4-4-2 would help him and also Mara upfront

    Hopefully we can get to the hour mark at 0-0 and get Stu and Ché on. I understand Ché only managed one or two sessions this week due to a lingering knock from the Leeds game, so if we can get 30 mins from him that'll be decent enough.

    See quite a few calling to Stu to come on. Personally think that would be a big mistake. He's a luxury asset, far too lightweight and does little defensively. Djenepo is doing his best considering the circumstances, to weaken the team in front of him is not a good idea.

    I remember last season people wanted him dropped and were really questioning the massive new contract. And when he got suspended we looked better when Diallo came in. But that changed

    My signal is so bad it wont allow me to quote anyone but for those that said JWP was off the pace, he missed the first few weeks of pre season through injury. So he may well be slightly behind the rest.
