[Bullens Rd]

Iwobi - go back to the bench please

He's already thinking of his post-game double extra value meal with super sized milkshake.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Crap half to be honest. Even though they’ve hardly seen the ball they’ve forced our keeper into one or two saves and we had some scares at the back. Got nothing going forward for us, lack of movement and too slow and sluggish.

Cant really complain though given the players we have out I suppose.

 

[Bilbo]

Just keep it tight until HT and then make the switches

 

[bullybeef]

This is tepid, to say the least!

 

[matty1878]

At this moment in time he looks better than what we've got out there Matty.

that’s as we’re playing 1-9-1 mate

 

[kenada_blue]

Not much to write home about but Olsen has looked tidy and Doucoure and Delph looking like our best outfield players. This game will be won by a single goal

Will take a scrappy 1.0 win. With 1 shot on target

 

[AussieToffee11]

Allan has been good defensively.

I don’t like that Doucoure is one of the defensive mids. Much prefer him as a more attacking option.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Doucoure had, what, 8 goals last year? Sure would be nice to start seeing some of that.

Did he?! Blimey.

siggy's burst of pace to get a ball and then be told he wasnt going to get it has amused me

 

[Marius57]

Like having a keeper who commands the box and claims the ball.

But the defence looks sloppy and uncoordinated. And there is no threat going forwards.

I'd swap gomes for Gordon at ht.

 

[Amw79]

Gordon at half time please. Need some pace and directness.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Albatross-like arms on our goalie.

 

[DaChunk]

Kenny isn't at this level.
