I thought we were paying done decent football at times. Still a few defensive lapses, but overall I’m happy. Gelhardt better in that position too, would like him to take some shots.
Bit scrappy but I'll take it, good job the shot got the deflection, was taking out the seagulls on the roof otherwise, but if ya dont shoot ya dont score, Hamer is their obvs danger man, but by and large we've dealt with what they have, gutted Lundstram has gone off as he adds something to us, second half we need to be on it from the off.
Probably second best but we're winning. Hughes is looking a bit more assured than of late, Gelhardt and Akintola both giving it a good go. We need to get past the first 10 mins of second half without conceding next...
So far so good, not the most inspiring game, but need to get a 2nd goal if possible, which may well take the wind out of their sails.
First half stats Goals: 1-0 Shots: 3-4 On target: 1-0 Off target: 1-3 Touches in the box: 9-10 Fouls: 4-7 Corners: 3-3 Possession: 51%-49%
Is it just me, but does that Akintola know how to kick a ball... sliced goal, sliced clearance, sliced shot...
He’s had some really good touches today just in general play but his technique seems to desert him when it really matters, like he’s panicking and snatching at things. Hopefully he’ll settle and improve over time. Not a bad player I don’t think.
