Changes -  erahon for sheehan,  half time tea lady for randall and derek Scott for cogley.

We,ll piss it,  I,m going 3-1 victory.

Really entertaining half , played some lovely stuff. Would like to see Morley or Shehan as the 10 until we get another striker . 

Get Mcatee on for Randall.

A gift from SS to @mickbrown

 

Same old story, but Erhahon and Simons have been excellent - despite which, 9 shots with 0 on target and just one “clear cut chance”. All the crosses seem to land on a defenders head but stats say 2 out of 11 were “successful” whatever that means.

Delightful to watch at times but it isn’t effective and it’s goals we need so SS has work to do at HT.

Decent half that. Plenty shots, just not enough on target, and lots going into the box without anyone managing to get on the end of.

Really good team performance first half - can't understand "supporters" who feel the need to give our players stick after a half like that.

One on target would be a bonus!

Burstow has had 2 thru balls ish.. no service through the middle. 

Randall's just no threat in the middle and they know it. 

Ciskoco.. (spelling?) Doesn't seem the same player as Saturday.. seems disinterested in some way. That said he's a threat and they're keeping 2 on him and ACD.. 

Gale on for Ciskoco..

Mcatee for randall

Dalby for Burstow at 70 mins.

Fuck that.

So many crosses going in, put Dalby on.

He proper fucked up his header but other than that he's impressed me.

First goal still vital.

Suspect he'll get 10 - 15 mins due to coming back from injury

Agree but just can’t see where it’s coming from.

Get the ball in quicker it'll be reet.

Once this lot clicks proper we will be formidable.

Just test the bloody keeper.

Got no issues at all with Burstow at the moment. More concerned we're not creating anything for a striker to put away. Randall is poor. 

Schumacher’s body language is something else tonight - never seen him so animated. Looks totally stressed out.We have to win just for his mental wellbeing 😀

Jesus there's some right odd comments on here after dominating the first half. Sure we would love to be a couple of goals up after that half but we are a new squad in the early stages of the season.

Chin up fellas and glass half full and all that 😁

Top line is key for me.

Only one bod is a proper goal scorer, so maximise his chances by getting the ball in sooner.

If not, then I'd like us to try both strikers- Dalby, as we saw from last season's goals- can get his swede onto things as well as Burstow.

May well be wrong, and it will hopefully go swimmingly, but just replacing like for like is a bit Evatt-esque.

Current "10s" just doing my head in. 

Get in

Fuck yeah!

Do not concede!

Game should change now.

Keep it steady now and get them on the counter when they pile forwards

Randall has come more into it second half, not sure why the hate to cissoko, looks a threat to me

Agreed, similar possession levels to Evattball but way more purpose, felt like something was coming

Sod that. Keep at them, get another whilst they're rocking.

We may catch them, though it would be a bit nervy watching us taking it steady

Just saw Randall out muscle and win the ball back 😯

Think we need a second goal from somewhere.
