Take him off, can’t risk players who can cover midfield.

I was just thinking don't start the half like this ffs.

We did it too much fist half too. Didn’t mind so much against Watford as they were high up the pitch. The balls over the top for Jones are fine, and working really well, but launching up to Muniz, with no help or 2 v 4 is unlikely to pay off well.

Crooks has been tidy I thought.

The one two with McGree was a thing of beauty

 

[Blindschool]

Nuniz is a cheerful chap. Is he Will Smith in disguise

He has a very good understanding of where other players are, and more importantly where they’re going. He was verging on telepathic with Jones last year.

We need to get hold of the ball, this is poor. They're not even doing anything great but we're letting them into it.

 

[Teesste]

We can’t keep missing chances. They’re fragile at the back and we need to make the most of it

 

[Teesste]

Fry had had a massive game… like a young Tony Mowbray!!

 

[Scrug]

Fry > Lenihan every day of the week.

 

[Andy_W]

Fry defending well, just needs to play it short rather than hoofing it to their keeper sometimes.

 

[Ravshoutsatbeck]

How has Dael Fry not been in the team?! Immense!

Id like another goal but it isn't poor. I am sure there is some nerves at the back too.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Pendulum swinging to Mackems now.

We seem to be happy just to clear our lines at times instead of fiding a red shirt.

We keep hoofing it to their defenders or keeper, and they’re good once they have the ball.

 

[locomansimon]

Why have we stopped playing?

 

[Andy_W]

It’s understandable sometimes, but at least aim for the same post code as our lads.

Giving the ball away too often will cost us, if we’re not careful. No point winning it, if we’re gonna hand it back on a plate.

 

[WoodallServices]

They’re on top playing better football.

 

[ForssAwakens]

Dael fry been a different gravy

 

[Norman_Conquest]

I'm glad to see the back of Pritchard.
