    Isador is our current centre forward but he should not be guaranteed spot every week until he proves his worth. What has he done different from other recent strikers.

    We've been here too many times recently. We deserve to be comfortably ahead but we should have just gone in at half time behind.

    We need t score more goals, but I can't see where they're coming from.

    Got to take chances like the ones we created today. So much better with class balls across goal.

    Watson might just be my new favourite player. Brilliant again.

    Created load of chances and should be a few up. Really poor finishing from Wilson has let us down.

    We are a bit lax at the back and need to watch that as they have also got in a few times. Subs going to be vital in this game. Conditions will zap the energy and will out of players.

    We have a strong bench so should use a minimum of 3.

    Good performance from the bits I've seen, got to take chances tho

    2nd halves have been poor from us for a while so got to deliver this half

    Pretty good quality from us considering the conditions. Watson really deserved a second for that peach of a shot. Should be what, 4-2? Hopefully a few of these chances go in second half.

    Can’t complain about the chance creation today, Isidor should have 4 himself. Feel like he's slightly off it today, finishing is off and he's not getting himself into the box quick enough for the crosses which we've flashed across the 6 yard box multiple times. Done some good things though so I'd persist with him today as I think one will go in.

    Think the midfield 3 have been very good at controlling the game. Particularly enjoying how Jobe is feeding Watson at every chance he gets.

    Game is there to be won. I hope we are brave and go for the win.

    Yeah we'll definitely have to keep the ball on the deck and pass it about how we know we can.

    I dunno the corner flags seemed to be pointing towards our goal more that half.

    When their keeper was kicking it long you could see the ball coming back on itself. I'd say we definitely had the wind first half mate.

    But the flags are blowing towards BCB lol.
