Well that was an half of misplaced passes, they have pressed very quickly but under no pressure our passes are either telegraphed or giving it straight back to them
Seems to be a theme, we knock it long for the first half an hour, doesn't really work, and then we start to play and do well. Same happened against Notts county
Think last season we would have been 2-0 down already, players haven't let their heads drop so that is a good sign, and they keep trying things and going which is good
On the plus side we have just played the first half and looked terrible but still no goals conceded, good save and handling by O'brien and McDonald having a decent half too
Would be a waste of a rocket for me. We didn't play well but it's still 0-0 and the adjustments needed are tactical to allow the team to play better. The centre mids were too deep and too far away from the strikers so we were playing a little too long. Andreu on in the 10 for Beavon and we'll look much better.
So, basically, a load of old bolleaux so far ? BBC stats suggest a poor game with us distinctly 2nd best...
I don't even think it needs that. Kelly has pretty much operated the entire half from the right back position when grimmer, doyles just in front of the back. There's then a 40 yard gap between them and the front 4.

Sloppy passing sums up 1st half.
However we still look a solid unit. Hopefully we can get some shots on target 2nd half and nick a goal

Agree, first time in years that I don't feel like we are going to concede, especially at set pieces where we seem well organised
The back 5 look pretty solid and more than capable at this level.
Kelly and Doyle have been wasteful and just play high balls.
Beavon and mcnulty are so far apart.
It's a bit of a reality check - we need to stretch their back line more and probably will need a change up front
Until the end of the half we didn't create anything at all. Vincenti is ok as he's awkward and covers the ground. You can't really play jones and Nazon or the midfield, which looks fragile anyway, will be too stretched.

Fuck me what a day.
Watching a game. 0-0. Listening to a game. 0-0. Bigi a few decent touches but nothing else. Rose? A thorn in his own teams side. Ross County on top.
And to top it all off they won't join in with all my Sky blues songs

Would disagree, while the midfield is being stretched, we are playing to counter them but it should be the other way around, I think with Andreu and nazon would put us on the front foot more, and we wouldn't be so stretched.
All I can say was what the hell was that free kick all about
What a waste.
What a waste.
Beavon flagged for offside, after a good long pass by Doyle, probably just offside but we are already playing better
