    Feel like I always post the same so apologies for being a boring bastard. But so frustrating how poor we are at putting games to bed. We miss too many brilliant chances. If we improve our counter attacking (decision making/finishing) I think we’ll start getting a few wins with 3 or 4 goal margins. Any win will do though

    Don't care if Isidor is offside, he's definitely not offside

    Don't think we've been good here but the game should be out of sight. Can't complain about chance creation today, all about poor finishing.

    Roberts and Mayenda should both be scoring. No excuses. Not sure why Mayenda shifts it onto his weak foot.

    Hume needs to wake up, 3 times he's been caught out by a ball over his head.

    We'll create more chances but I'm concerned they'll grab a goal.

    Not a good performance, but should have had a couple more.

    If we can raise our game by just 5%, particularly in terms of pressing them, we should get another goal or two.

    Been sloppy at times but as soon as we move the ball quickly they can't get close to us

    Mayenda has been class this half, but should do better with his chance. Should be more chances for us in the 2nd half but got to sharpen up defensively

    It usually is when it's one on one running past the defender though

    Neil and Hume are far too lackadaisical, someone needs to give them a shake.

    Been sloppy and I think we're either a bit too confident or we're a bit too cautious.

    Started well but they are still well in the game , Midfield all below par and need to step up a gear.Who are these morons commentating never heard worse. Mayenda and Isidor look the real deal need some support to put the game to bed.,

    Unreal by Neil for that offside goal where the linesman has clearly just guessed should never have been ruled offside for me

    Other than a couple of sloppy passes, he’s been very good - again

    I think the amount of games in a relatively short space of time is catching up to a few players today. They're only human, put a lot of effort in the last couple of weeks

    Cirkin could be good but sounds an unfortunate reason to make the sub
