Not playing badly here, big 2nd half. Certainly much more confident going in to half time 1 down than I would've been just a couple of weeks ago
So we've played alright 1st half Their defensive structure is top drawer and keeping us quiet at times Longman started great but been quiet since collided with the post They look a proper good championship team They'll finish top 5 no doubt
Well, they're better than us but we're making it easier for them with too many misplaced passes. Our lack of muscle in midfield is evident too, we're losing most of the loose ball there. I wonder if Oscar with his aggression might be able to unsettle their back line, they're looking too confident just now.
They are better than us, winning most of the 2nd balls, need to stop trying to play long passes which just lose possession. Though we are still in the game.
Early changes needed this second half. Dawson surely doesn't need his stats man to tell him who needs replacing, does he? At times, there's a lot to be said for the big boot forward.
They changed their shape for this game Gone 4 at the back which they usually don't do and with deep midfield Countering our plan Very little space
Get longman and slater off Tufan and Oscar on nothing to lose We’ve not had a bloody shot first half Go for them
