It's easy to see what's wrong.

We have played pretty well overall and been way in control.

We are too powderpuff up front though and greatly miss Wright.

Added to that, the crossing has been poor for the most part and we are creating chances, but most of them are half chances and not clear cut ones.

The best one was where Rudoni took the ball of Saka's head. You had to have been fancying that as a goal right there

The other problem is, once the opposition go a goal up, we often then struggle even more to break sides down.

The time wasting this half is going to be one of the ages.

It's going to be torture.

The defence and keeper are a disgrace, flat footed and hesitant

Dovin cannot be worse than Collins even tho the kicking of the invisible ball shudda confirmed he was never getting a big move

a fool and his money are easily parted

No tactician can account for Collins, Binks and Dasilva.

It doesn't matter how much possession we have, or shots, or what our fucking XG is, if you conceed every time the opponent has a shot on target.

Could have got tighter (no different to Bidwell at times this season though I'm sure you'll agree).

Mostly on MVE though for ballwatching and non existent marking.

Collins hasn't done anything wrong? You can't expect him to save that I'm sorry a wild deflection of the post. His distribution has also been excellent
Click to expand...

I'd politely differ there.

He's just too slow to react to either the cross or the rebound. He runs over on the initial cross, over commits, and ends up way behind the line at the near post, then he's too slow/off-balance to get back in to the centre of the goal, where the ball slowly loops in.

He's definitely not the only one to blame, but he's not a good enough keeper to keep the shirt, imho.

Lets be honest, apart from a purple patch during the middle of last season, we've been absolutely wank since the playoff final.

Around the time we bought the majority of these clowns.

Cheered up my half time a little (tiny) bit finding out that Frank Lampard has written a whole series of children's books.

Dunno if this is already widely known, but it gave me a smile in an otherwise pretty bleak gamebreak.



Now. To win this 5-1...

We need to be faster in the finally 3rd, we have created a lot but nothing with any conviction. cant float balls in and hope a striker can make power

Yup and it just makes the spectacle a very arduous one and pretty much anti-entertainment

Any bits on there about how to defend? Maybe Bobby Thomas can read it to Dasilva at bedtime?
