    Very cagey Giving the ball away too much need to get a bit of control back not sticking at the moment These aren’t a bad team but they are probably working at their limit fancy us over the 90 but it’s hard work

    I know that RLB doesn't really make early subs but I wonder if it would be worth taking either Roberts or Mundle off and put Connelly up front and shift Isidor wide. Connelly would be better at holding the ball up

    Mundle looks stale not really at it think he’s due a break Queue a screamer into the top corner

    Very poor first half, not at it today so far.

    Hopefully a tactical tweak and words of encouragement from RLB brings about a different 2nd half.

    Sorry, but QPR sub should be booked there. Rules of the game he entered the field of play without permission from the ref. **** all to do with him

    Several gears we can go up, just not happening for the wide players yet

    Poor on the ball at the back which is causing us problems and stopping us getting into our flow. Need to make sure we keep possession when playing about at the back. Will be interesting to see if QPR put more into their press.

    Some really nice patterns of play at times and in spells we look really good and dominant, however some times we look really slack.

    Wide players are offering nothing. Mundle is up against a centre back and Roberts is now up against their backup right back who barely plays. Must improve.

    We can definitely win this. Need to get the ball into Isidor more, he's making some great runs.

    Isidor needs to put in the hard graft, not just score wonder goals.

    We need to keep hold of the ball in their third.

    Our midfield need to move the ball much quicker ...

    ... the wingers are marked before they receive the pass.

    If we've learned anything this season, it's that RLB will adjust things at halftime.

    I don't worry as much because I know he won't just let things drift.

    We should be getting behind these full backs and I think we will.

    As things stand Isidor won't last the full game imo.
