    Doesn’t give a **** Riggy does he. Boots in the face blokes twice his size ‘let’s go ****ers’.

    What an absolute boyo.

    Why did we start the season with quality set pieces and now they're terrible

    I’m not sure the front 3 are the problem here. The shape just isn’t working

    Don’t know if it’s so much we been bad as they are hard to play against.

    They are quite hard working and physical, move the ball quick but are a bit ****.

    It’s a strange combination to combat.

    They are part of it as defensively down the sides both Watson and Wilson are offering absolutely nothing

    Lovely, I'm convinced his dad is the biggest reason those two boys are so grounded.

    we’ve been really poor in possession. Especially when we’ve won the ball back in good positions and then immediately given it away again

    I’d make changes to get Mundle and Robert’s on, isidor central at half time

    these look half decent due to our lack of shape

    get players on more aligned with our current identity and get at these

    Well. Mepham was punished for pushing. Did exactly the same to Watson and he got nothing.

    I very very much doubt there will be any changes at half time. 0-0 away from home. Definitely tactical tweaks but not wholesale rip it all up stuff. Reggie ain’t that style

    Aye can’t argue the shape is stopping us from moving the ball around like.

    29 for them is nearly a good player.

    Fwiw I don’t think Roberts would be any good up against Kessler Hayden anyway. He always struggles against quick right footers at left back

    Lost track of how many times we’ve needlessly given away the ball.

    Think we’d be lucky to go in at half time 0-0
