Heart in mouth a few times. We’ve done ok though. Approached the game in exactly the right way

It was pretty cynical but the ref is letting them get to him.
Yeh they've got him right where they want him. Cowardly individual.

North Leics…...unfortunately
Great away performance…. Just need that one chance. They will get at least one so we have to hope we can keep them out.

Tidy our passing up our intensity a bit and we win, perfect chance for sheaf/vik to shoot and they both passed.
Commentators pissing me off calling us a counter attacking side when we literally passed the ball 30/40 times before having a chance 😂

Doyle unlucky to be booked, but we had committed a lot of fouls as a team.

Cuffy needs help on the right, or dabo needs to come on.

Sheaf should've stuck his foot through it.

Far more competent/confident with the box in the middle of the park.

Gyokeres needs Allen to get closer to him in transition.

So.....I think we have done pretty well

But, two things ....

1. We are giving too many silly free kicks away

And

2. Some of our passing is sloppy.

The threat is down our right, so we need to get Giles more on the back foot


But we've done okay.

Nothing wrong with our intensity

We’ve played reasonably well, although struggling to imposed ourselves going forward. Defence has been very strong again, but also need to stop giving them the opportunities to go down and win as many free kicks as they have been, just lunging in a bit too much.

McNair doing a job on Gyokeres again, one moment aside. Probably need Allen, Hamer or Sheaf to step up and run into the space that is created from Vik dragging McNair around.

Can’t call it either way, absolutely shitting it.

Phew! Still a bit of a chess match. We’ve set our stall out well so far. Could be a long night……

We're doing alright, I'd say we're executing the game plan pretty much perfectly. Just need a moment of magic from Vik or Hamer.

Decent half. Playing out game, bits and pieces to improve, but so proud of the lads. Real battling performance from both sides.

Still in it. That’s all that matters. What will be will be. Got a feeling Vik is going to get away next half cos McNair is on a yellow and it’ll come down to whether he finishes his one on one or not. Just a suspicion.

Still think 0-0. They play a dangerous game though and only need to fuck up once.

I think we've been OK in patches and not good enough in others.
I still got the feeling this is going to end in a penalty shootout!

What worries me is that I think we may struggle to get back in the game if we concede. Keeping it tight at the back really is key here.
