They have over watered pitch is so slow

I’d take Sheaf off - put Allen or Eccles in there as we’ve controlled the midfield.

 

[EalingSB]

First twenty minutes awful, but after that much the better side. Unlucky that one of the half chances didn't fall more kindly, and some poor decision making (again) in the final third.

Also, I really fucking wish that they let you watch football without commentary when you have to watch on tv. It's absolutely awful.

You know you can turn it down/off!?

 

[shmmeee]

This lot get absolutely murdered by Sheff Utd (not that we don’t)

 

[stupot07]

Sheaf is having a mare BUT he's literally the only player in midfield. Grimes is too deep, and Rudoni is trying to stay high.

I like the crowd noise!

I actually turned the volume off as I couldn't stand the biased commentary on sky any longer.

You’re going to win this I can feel it ⚽️

Which of our not great strikers are we gonna put up top? Lethargic simms, BTA who couldn't finish a mcflurry or Bassette who buzzes but doesn't ever finish.

Probably better than playing nobody up front like we are now

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Worried about Sheaf and Bobby being on Yellows. Agreed with those saying we should bring Eccles on for Sheaf. Because of the yellow if nothing else

 

[quinn1971]

Start the 2nd half like we finished that and theres a goal there for us, we’ve got a bit more room tonight Need to use it

 

[thezunigadream]

Why are we delaying the wide ball by 10 seconds each time. Just need to force it a bit quicker to emc especially.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Grimes is so deep that it leaves basically the entire midfield for them to run into if we give the ball away.

 

[HungarySkyBlue]

Same gutless performance.

 

[steve101]

Ref giving them all bar one 50:50. We are playing with more intensity but too many moments of carelessness. Being offside with the early set piece and needless fouls by Thomas and Kitching when in offensive positions. We need to be smarter. Wright being bullied again. Put Simms on. He has a point to prove and what an occasion to do so. Probably bring on Allen soon too for Sheaf, being on a booking.

 

[xcraigx]

Got some momentum going into half time, that last 15 minutes was very positive.

Oddly, I was having my blood pressure measured just as Rudoni missed the first chance, 170/109. If this goes all the way to penalties I may not be around to see them!

 

[Boicey]

Where is Wright when all these balls are coming into the box????

 

[Tommo1993]

I was there when Haji Wright looked like a footballer.

That may be, but well need a couple of changes to the midfield.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I think Grimes has played very well. He’s clearly under instruction to sit so deep but he breaks up play well and kept us ticking over.

shesf is the liability. 3 times now he’s dawdled on the ball too long and allowed a counter attack

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

That's the worry isn't it. We get to Wembley, spend a few hundred on tickets and travel to see Sheff wipe the floor with us. I deffo felt more confident against Luton than Sheffield

 

[HungarySkyBlue]

I’d take Sheaf off - put Allen or Eccles in there as we’ve controlled the midfield.

Take him off and out Simms in, grimes is sat there deep anyway.

 

[EalingSB]

Over 1.5 games the ball just hasn’t quite dropped for us yet. When/if it does, vital that we take it. Saw enough there to have hope for the second half. A Sheaf red card a big concern at the moment.

 

[procdoc]

Same gutless performance.

Fuck off you boring twat

 

[Liquid Gold]

We are one lucky bounce of the ball away from scoring here and if we do then I can only see one winner.

We've waited 135 minutes for that lucky bounce now though, we need someone to take the game and force it and that is something our forward line doesn't have.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Push Simms on as Wright is not offering much

 

[DT-R]

So poor for a team that have "Premier league" aspirations. Anti football. All the tricks in the book. Delayed cov fans getting in. Had the heating on in the away dressing room. Narrowed the advertising boards. Low block for a game and a half now. I couldn't think of a team I'd rather beat (aside from blunts in the final). I hope it all back fires in this second half. Cunts

Hope the last we see of HW in a city shirt. Doesn't want to be here

Grimes is slow, breaks play and slows it down to a snails pace, need to fucking get his head up and play it forward.

 

[wingy]

I was there when Haji Wright looked like a footballer.

We just don't know how that injury has affected him, the 3he got against them at home were just Gimme s.

 

[stevefloyd]

I know he was shite on Friday but I’d like us to get Haji Wright on for second half!

Too late he's sunbathing on the beach

What formation would that be?

Dr Roberts trying to wake Haji up

 

[Gleneagles65]

Decent effort so far, they melt if we score first.

 

[Ashdown]

If we have to cash in on one player this Summer I hope its Wright.
played well in general though, EMC looks ok, Rudoni always dangerous. Just need a lucky break
