Ugh.

Anyone know of a working link? I’ve found a couple but they’re very unreliable.

 

[NormanbyRed77]

Poor defending

 

[Laughing]

Woeful defending.

Hopefully that wakes us up nice and early, haven't been at it at all so far.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Poor, poor defending of a corner

 

[sherlock]

Deserved lead, they've been much better than us so far.

 

[ForssAwakens]

Matt crooks didn’t follow him

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Yes this game has been worrying me since the injury suspension picture was spelled out on Wednesday morning and we now have a bigger challenge now.

 

[ForssAwakens]

Missing Hackney eh

 

[Juninhoburger]

Dieng has been excellent but he should have done better there

 

[BoroMart]

Crooks didn’t track his man, this has been a really really poor start, sluggish on and off the ball

 

[Blindschool]

Deserved lead, they've been much better than us so far.

Dear me

 

[BoroMart]

Dieng has been excellent but he should have done better there

Probably but he didn’t see a header from 6 yards until late and was off balance, but yes should have a strong hand to that

 

[sherlock]

Dear me

What? They have.

 

[futureboy]

Some really good breaks from midfield and the wings, but then it always breaks down in the final third.

 

[Laughing]

Am I alone in thinking lath would have chance after chance with stokes defence?

 

[ForssAwakens]

Worry levels through the roof here. They have 3 excellent chances in 15 mins

 

[Otto42]

Both defences look poor. Could be plenty of goals. Reckon we are missing Smith’s organisation at the back.
