    Hamer the difference in my opinion up to now.
    We're still in it. A couple of tweaks, we get the equaliser, we get the momentum, we score the winner.

    It was a decent set piece with a bad final hit, we just seemed to have too many committed

    Don't think there's much wrong with the setup of the team, fact is the players were ****ting themselves from kickoff and took an age to settle against a team bang up for it.

    Much better last ten minutes or so, let's hope the second half continues like that.

    If we get the equaliser I feel the tides will turn,

    it’s not said and done yet,

    LoNs injury cleared changed the game.

    he is a massive miss,

    No real difference between Rigg and Roberts wide right. I'd rather Watson.

    Agree with a bad final ball Le fee taking that corner makes hume defend his area from where they scored

    We're all armchair managers, but everyone can see that this isn't working, no shade on the players, but if we can get it down and play, we have a chance. Head tennis with this lot won't work. Lumping it up to KM is pretty much their game plan. Hard balancing act at the minute but as others have said, 442 and just go for it now. 45 Minutes to get something. And their VAR offside will have mentally effected them. IZZY on up top and go for, nothing to loose now. 45 Minutes left, go for it. ps, some of our players look **** scared aswell mind.

    Need more movement. They're standing about waiting for the ball.

    All the work they’ve done this season, they have 45 mins to sort it out… get Wilson on… him and Mayenda pace will scare the s hit out of them

    Players seem to be blocking each other spaces too much

    Quite often this season we've come out in the 2nd half a different team and dominated it and won.

    Today's the day to do that again!

    Ha'way the Lads!
