    Really wasteful on the ball tonight, jobe and Roberts a big miss, lift it second half and we can still nick it

    Aye. They all need to get told off by RLB. Might come out second half a bit better

    If we weren't one of the teams in this match I'd be off to Netflix now. But we are, and have some good substitution options, so come on, up a gear and we get this 2-0

    57% passing accuracy in the final third is woeful.

    Really poor, senior players are letting the others down.

    Neil has been ****e.

    Aleksic looks like Watson at Preston.

    Still in the game.

    Can't be any worse second half

    Very slow first half but Norwich went backwards in the last 20 mins and it was pretty even (both teams awful).

    The midfield looks disjointed. Jobe is a huge miss but Aleksic on the right doesn't make sense. He should be playing in the middle.

    Mayenda has done a couple of excellent things and then had the bad touch where it mattered most. He's such an exciting player to watch though.

    We'll come out second half and win this.

    Player making his debut, one coming back from injury, one playing out of position, no Mundle, no Jobe, etc etc etc ...

    ... taking time to settle, what a surprise.

    I’d consider Isidor and Mayenda as a front 2 today. Just feels like the evening for one of their rapid counters

    So, so poor that. Can't believe we're still level.

    Every game Jobe doesn't play we look poor, he's the glue to this team both going forward and defensively. Rigg doesn't have the size, power or awareness to play that position and Browne the less said about him the better.

    Mayenda has had the ball a handful of times and has done something positive every time, GET HIM THE BALL.

    Would like to see the wide players changed and ELF brought on in midfield. Come on lads.

    Le fee in for Rigg aleksic inside and Roberts on the wing I think would work here.

    Le fee played that role under RLB before and works good at both ends of the pitch two creative players should help mayenda too who’s getting dodged

    Definitely not. Especially given he hasn't had time on the pitch before this.

    Neil made a few sloppy passes, looks to me like he's missing Bellingham alongside him.
