    Uh oh. Time to up our work rate here.

    Good play by them but we've been very sloppy.

    They've definitely stepped it up a gear. Jones now have a great game.

    We have to up our levels to match....

    And with Harris off?

    Looks like SM got his starting line up right but not his changes.
    Couple minutes to hang on.

    Jesus... Seat of the pants stuff there....

    If it had finished 3-3we couldn't have complained.

    Morison needs to tear them a new one despite the victory.

    Three points away against a side who hadn't lost at home this season. A couple of lessons to be learned but we always knew that would be the case for a while.
    Well done you lovely Bloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobirds

    Not sure why he brought on Nknonkou as he just cannot defend.
    Although we held on we’d have benefited from a Hughill or Uche type to hold it up.

    A good win - in the end.

    We already know Ng is weak defending at the far post. Nkounkou is poor defensively and Sawyers disappears when the going gets tough. Ojo is not a sub to bring on when defending a lead.

    We looked a good side with O'Dowda, Robinson and Harris but lost so much when they went off.

    Simpson did well defensively and should have scored first half.

    It was a concern with no striker on the bench.
    Once we came under pressure a change of formation might have helped.
    3 points and some learning is a decent return for the evening.
    SM still on a steep learning curve.
    Robinson with another hour in his legs and game time for Simpson.

    Excellent summary.

    On this showing Robinson could prove absolutely key for us.

    Fantastic match winning block from Simpson towards the end.

    Onwards and upwards we march!!

    Don't think FFB will be impressed with our prediction league returns again though <laugh>

    As I posted earlier, we are fine up front if we let in 2 goals a game that is where the problem is.
