I only saw part of the first half but I like the look of Just

BBC.om not updated any league cup scores yet 😡

The big left back looks like he has a good shot on him. One blocked and one goal. Hopefully we see a lot more of that from him.

Hallelujah

Maybe right about the Defence but have we had a shot on target yet, after 20 mins??

Miller still “injured”? 😃

Who’s all on the bench ?

I’m on the fence regarding the goalie style of play obvious drawback we are all aware of but it does allow us to get more players ahead of the ball. I thought the first half we maintained possession well and there were was hardly a hoof ball played the whole first half. There were some longer passes but they were decent balls where our player was always the favorite to win the ball. Midfielders were showing for the ball making it easier for us to make passes and keep possession. However, second half was very different story. For our level of players I think it’s very hard for them to maintain that for a full 90 mins. Having that focus and mentality goes downhill fast as you start to tire. So between fitness and heat yesterday we just couldn’t maintain the first half control. Sure, we made subs but that didn’t seem to work in maintaining then level of focus and fitness required. While disappointed yesterday I’m confident we will improve and that the manager will be a bit more analytical in his assessment and able to prioritize what needs fixing first. With some new players likely to come in there still cause for optimism. Yours faithfully, Happy Clapper 😂😂

How much time was added on? I was expecting more

Yes, still very annoying

Every team wastes time. The trick is to not be in a position where time wasting affects you.

Yep

Mon the well. Don’t mess up.

I thought AP was doing well. He controls and holds the ball well and as you said fullbacks not providing and good balls into the box for him to feed off. We need to be setting up chances for him. I also think Halliday and Slats need to be a bit more aggressive and start hitting some shots from outside the box. For a change we actually have some width which should create some space for the midfielders coming thru to shoot.

Definitely a big reduction in the number of aimless hoof balls up the park.
