Getting double pressed which is why Erhahon is getting some joy further ahead and we have an overload on the left We need him to do a bit more, but him just being there is creating space for others, albeit players who have far leas quality

Beforehand, I said it would be a bit of a risk. Conway likes to push on, and Cissoko isn't the best defensively. Doesn't sit well with me though, that the full backs get so much shit, when it is clear that they are expected to get forward. Moreover, with only 2 in midfield, the defensive cover is limited. It is clear for me that SS has decided to go all out- some of that tightening up we've seen previously has been released in pursuit of goals and the win. A risk, and one that should be paying off- chances just not converted. 2, or 3-1 up, and no one gives a toss about the defending. There is still time to put it right though.

February 17Feb 17 Up the tempo in the second half get balls in the box and we will win this not impressed with Reading at all.

Most of Marriotts movement is off camera so you can't put blame on Jono. You can’t put blame on Conway either. As you he said he wasn’t necessity previously attacking. It was a counter attack. They happen. The thing we have to do is get closer to the ball there and GJ didn’t. great finish though. It happens.

Needs to be a back 5 with them two in it I do agree with this. Much prefer the solidity of a back three. Can't play two attacking full backs with wingers in front away from home.

There is no way he should have that time and space. Just man mark the Fcker.

Can CBT play on the right in the 2nd half? * Cissoko might be poor at crossing but at least he tries to set up the strikers. * I'm ready for this to be quoted and slated post-match when Apter has rolled in the winner in the 95th minute after creating the 1st with a far post cross to Dalby.

Just man mark the Fcker. Its a break away , Marriott was quite wide. If he's pulled wide early in that move you can't expect your centre half to just pull out wide and leave a massive gap in the middle. You can't tell from the feed where and when Marriott runs.

Most of Marriotts movement is off camera so you can't put blame on Jono. Difficult to justify criticism of individual outfield players when our shape demands folk push forward to create our attacks which inevitably leaves us short at the back. We applaud our attacking play and chance creation, but we take risks to do that and good players can exploit them. Just need to play better in possession and take our chances.
