Wright for Palmer and Simms for Godden please. As much as Palmer has tried it isn't happening and Godden is just nowhere.

Been a poor half. Lucky we are still in it. I have said it multiple times now lats is not a CM. I don't mind him as an emg, but to bring him on when we have two actual Cm's was overly conservative from Robins. He doesn't break the lines and goes hiding behind Bristol city players rather than looking for the ball. I'd get Torp or Allen on ASAP

I feel like MVE wants to get more crosses in but the chances of Godden winning anything is basically nil.

Pretty terrible half, that, despite going ahead. Need a rocket up them.

Decent first 10, then been so poor since then. Pedestrian, Godden offering nothing, Eccles been poor, Lati poor, Palmer nice skills then gifts it away cheaply. No zip, no pace on our play, too many players having too many touches slowing the game down.

The Lati sub was just a poor decision. Palmer, Godden and Eccles or Lati off. Wright, Simms and Torp on.

Poor first half. Goal would have masked it. Need torp on in middle and wright and Simms on. At least Simms. Eccles poor and godden done nothing.

Didn’t deserve to be ahead really, we’ve been rubbish. Eccles is having an absolute howler. Sheaf missing is a massive blow and looked like a hammy so will probably be out for a few weeks.

With Sheaf going off it’s a v good opportunity for Eccles to step up and run game. So far, not so good. He’s playing well but he and Lati are just not creating much.

Could do with Simms, Wright and Torp coming on at some point.

Why do we think we keep picking Godden then? I don't uderstand it, he never does anything. Same as everyone else, don't want to have a go at him but he shouldn't be first choice. We really need to bring Wright on and get something going up top. He won't do it at half time but maybe after 60. We miss Sheaf in the middle as well. We're still it though so let's just keep hoping.

Nah, we weren't great but shaded the first 10. Game turned when Sheaf went off and Lati came on

Latibeaudiere was the wrong sub, but I honestly don't think we've looked particularly worse as it happens. They were better than us first 10 as well.

Half the team look asleep and the whole game for us has felt like a friendly. Eccles gave the ball away after about one minute and it's been at the same pace ever since. It's so flat.

Thought Eccles was having a rare poor one to be honest rather than playing well.

Would be surprised to win this one. Looks like we’re missing more than one key player. It’s just drab.

Yeh I don't really enjoy having a go at Godden as he's been great for us, but he's completely hopeless atm and has been for a while.

Honestly it’s like we are playing with 10 men. Godden just cannot cut it up front in this formation

Shit half. Sheaf out for 2 months if it’s a hamstring.

Godden I’m afraid should not be starting games. Just a passenger. Simms should be

Central midfield is pointless today. Might as well bypass it.
