    I’m all for it. We haven’t been clever enough so far this season on the road.

    It's not impressive really, they are just launching the ball forward at every opportunity, and they have barely created anything

    I’m going to stop posting before it ends up in an argument. Neil isn’t anything like a captain in my opinion, everyone is around RLB and Neil just strolls off.

    See you later and good luck.

    there’s actual science in the fact that wearing orange makes them look bigger as well.

    Not sure it's awful football like, the pressing has been class from them and they are playing to their strengths by getting the ball wide, getting balls n players into the box

    It is mind, but as I said before it’s nothing out of the ordinary. This is how they play and have done for years. If we let them land three consecutive corners on the same blokes head without changing anything then we’ve only got ourselves to blame. Interesting to see how RLB deals with it

    I think Connolly needs to come on, he uses his body so well to draw fouls n get us up the pitch

    Rigg n browne been poor and Isidor isn't holding the ball up or showing for it well enough

    But there isn’t, it’s only the two strikers and the centre backs. Their midfield is smaller than ours we’re just not marking them with our bigger players on set pieces for some reason

    Hopefully these tire in the 2nd half as they are putting a load into this.

    It is awful football, it's just like the playoff game. The pressing is impressive though, but won't be able to keep that up 90 mins

    The pressing is good, but that style of football is awful to watch

    We've got to be smarter than this. They like the way we're passing it around at the back and the way our midfielders drop in and receive the ball facing our own goal.

    We need to add a bit of variation to at least make them think of second guess such an intense press.
