I agree but he's up against there main threat and I feel he could do with a bit more support.

Good half, the worry is for all our dominance, bar the goal which was from McCallums throw, we have only created 1 decent chance.

I'd say two actually, main thing is we're getting the ball to stick more in their half even if it's not coming off around the box.

Don't want to jinx things as we are only 50% of the way there yet.

But in a roundabout way, the QPR thrashing was kind of beneficial in that it:

.Gave credibility to the idea that we need two up top
.Gave Eccles and Pask the chance to show their hunger. Granted, they are playing in slightly different positions and we were 3-0 or so down by the time they came on last time round, but they have been solid so far.

Swings and roundabouts really. Hopefully we stay solid at the back. Godden might need to come at some point, and I'd fancy Gyokeres to partner Walker up top.

No idea but even if he was there's absolutely no way they're going to bring him back for a couple of games at the end of the season after 3 ACLs. They'll give him all summer too at least.

That's what we were all demanding - a bit of fight and purpose. Great leadership from McFadz and James looked very good at times both cleaning things up and trying to drive us forward. Eccles and Pask have done well and much better movement up front - hope Godden can do another 20 minutes at least as he'll be getting sharper with every outing. Great to have the option of Hamer, with something to prove, coming off the bench.

It was a very good save, low to his right.
Godden couldn't have done much more.
Any further out, it goes well wide.

Not a good look for da Costa when a midfielder is a better defender than you mind

Good first half, James and Pask have played really well. We need another goal to see this out.

Is a little harsh, but still holds some truth. This is their player who loads of Premiership teams are courting. Can’t be easy to defend against. Don’t want Sam to pick up a yellow against a tricky winger

Bit harsh on McCallum around here, he got done a couple of times (too close, got turned too easily) but generally he's been solid.

Agree - hope MR isn't letting Godden himself decide that he is ok - sooner have a Gyokeres or even Baka (don't laugh) if he is not able to give 100%.

Just having 2 up front allows us to to clear our lines if needed and ease pressure on the defence without the ball coming straight back. We’ve also played through midfield a fair bit as well.

Was a good save, and he got down well for it but there was an awful lot more goal for Godden to aim at too from that position.

Yes, might not be worth the risk of further injury but hope it'll be like for like, hate to go defensive for 45 minutes.

Few nervy balls out from defence when we had time but generally doing OK. Godden obviously lacking fitness, he’d have had two match fit. Looking good though. 532 is the way.

They've barely had a sniff in front of goal, so on that basis I would, but possession wise I imagine it's pretty even.

Think he’s improved as he’s gone on and is up against one of the best right wingers I’ve seen this season. And I’m not a McCallum fan.

There's been a lot of times he's come away with the ball very smartly.

Having just seen it back on the half time highlights, his shot is too central, he can go another 2-3 foot wider and he scores.

Decent half and an improvement from recent games.

Credit to MR thus far in changing formation and style - we’re more direct today. Just hope he doesn’t now revert to a default defensive mode, we’re so much worse when we do that.

It also helps that players we’d expect to set up and play well, actually are (for the most part). Maybe only some of them haven’t given up playing for MR, perhaps he’s only lost half the dressing room. Although I’m sure some body language experts on here may disagree.
