Tyler Walker does brilliantly there. Drags his own man backwards and they block off Godden's marker so that he has a free header.

He plays too deep. He is a second too slow when he passes forward and we lose momentum because he is too happy to play the comfortable sideways or backwards pass. My favorite player in the last 10 years by a mile but he is nowhere near top half championship level.

I'm haunted by this case. Can't fall asleep without thinking about him first. Don't even think it's his senseless murder either, it's that he died feeling no-one loved him. The confusion, loneliness and despair he must have felt makes me feel physically sick. I just want to kick a ball around in...

I'm still surprised how often people blame individuals for being crap without ever acknowledging the impact that various systems, styles and opposition game instructions have on individual performance. Maatsen has barely crossed the halfway line in the 2 games since Kane has come into the side...

Isn't that why the call it the nuclear family? Because of the massive explosion at the end?!

You can't possibly drop him if we continue to play in the same style that we have been. He's the only one of our forwards that can hold the ball up with any consistency and create something for himself. It would need a lot of tactical tweaking before he could be dropped, including a more patient...

The bit I don't get is that Robins should have known if Hamer couldn't take corners. That should all be scripted pre-game.

My understanding of the 2nd goal, from the TV coverage, was that they gave it as a McFadz own goal, suggesting the ball had already crossed the line before it went in a 2nd time off the guy with his arms above his head. There was still another handball before it hit McFadz though, although much...

Early kick off? Generally subdued mood caused by the death of Snoz? Literally nothing to cheer about on the pitch for 75 minutes? Combination of all 3?

Maatsen has had no drive to get up the pitch in the last 2 games either. It's like we've told him to stay back and let Kane be the one to get forward because of his delivery, but it makes us very very 1 dimensional and predictable, like you said.

Yeah, think Fadz again is the only one that gets a 7 from me. Way too many 6s out there today.

Retrospectively, Sheaf's swing and a miss after 10 mins, at O'Hares 1 decent ball in the final third today was an important moment. Difficult but good chance and the game just went away from us after that. Would have resulted in a very different first half.

I actually though Dabo was pretty good today for most of the game but his part in the first goal will be what is remembered. Conversely Kane, who got an assist and almost forced an owngoal, was really poor outside of those contributions.

Thought Godden and Kelly looked very league 1 today. Godden is a passenger when we aren't creating him chances, he's too slow to trouble teams outside the box.

The look of horror on Robins face, when he'd waited patiently to shake Ishmael's hand while he celebrated and then instead got hugged by him, was hilarious.

It's like Hyam has a video game style power bar that has to fill up before his leg can pass it.

I always think Sheaf looks like the kid at school who has really bad visible earwax.

3 goals scored at home in the first half of 11 games. 16 in the 2nd half of games. It's remarkably one sided.
