Better second half but too many poor individual performances. Looked much better with Tavares and Sheaf on.

Both Panzo and Doyle are so shaky. Waghorn has offered very little. Think we need to get another in midfield - Sheaf for Waghorn hopefully.

Individually some good performances. Unfortunately, Gyokeres was poor tonight. Palmer did well in spells but needed to come off after 75. Tavares surely would have offered more than Waghorn.

Dabo was off the pace first 20 odd minutes but got better as half progressed. 2 decent balls in the box from him. Allen's performance is much better than last two games. Rose has been excellent as has Sheaf. Palmer and Hamer look likely to create something but it's not quite happening yet.

As I wrote earlier, it looked inocculous with no obvious twist, suggesting calf or hamstring. However it did look similar to how Arsenal women's Miedema pulled up, which was an ACL.

They were preferred to Dabo because he was injured / not match fit. It was Dabo's first game in months. I think considering he looked sharp, controlled the ball well and whipped in some decent crosses. Burroughs has done well but they are different types of players.

One positive is that Dabo looked really sharp. Another is getting some needed minutes into the legs of Palmer, Kelly, Waghorn and Tavares. Think we need to freshen it up a bit against Cardiff.

Wilson didn't need to give it to him there

Wilson has to come and punch that!

I hope O'Hare injury isn't an ACL. It looked innocuous, which might suggest maybe more of a muscle pull. However it looked very similar to how Arsenal women's Miedema pulled up, which was ACL.

Burroughs has played well again but started to look leggy. Allen is just not getting hold of the ball. Looks low on confidence. Palmer showing some great touches. Think Gyokeres should have hit his back heel pass first time. I would quite quickly bring Waghorn on for Allen.

Robbed. Thought Doyle, Rose, Hamer and Sheaf were excellent. Not sure why Sheaf was taken off unless injured.

What are the 'unforseen circumstances'?!

Great start. O'Hare looking really sharp and McFadzean superb. Look vulnerable from corners, which is a concern. The movement and rotation between O'Hare, Allen and Hamer is so good, with Sheaf tidying up behind.

Thought Sheaf was our most consistent player throughout the game. Others improved after the break. Looks like we are down to bare bones defensively with Rose injury. Looked like his groin again. Maybe a place on the bench for McGrath?

McFadzean was phenomenal the last 10 minutes or so, typified by winning a header in the 6 yard box, sandwiched between two players. Gyokeres is an absolute powerhouse.
