Not a great 1st half.
Wright seem to have fallen off a cliff, form wise.

Dasilva- 'No!' = Yellow card

Campbell- 'Referee Fucksake' and then delays restart = crack on son

Wright had he's eyes closed when he went up for that. No commitment what so ever. That should have been buried.

Get Eccles off BTA behind wright

 

[Paul Anthony]

Haji Wright has two big issues.

His ability to remain onside, and his total lack of ability at heading the ball.

Not a good half again. Think it's starting to catch up with us now. Some bad habits starting to creep back in.

 

[clint van damme]

Needs to put Wright out left where he can see along the line so he's not offside. TA down the middle.

He had a perfect view along the line last time he got caught off but still stayed offside anyway

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Well, that was lacklustre.

 

[jto123]

Fallen into their game plan hook, line and sinker

 

[DT-R]

Hate to say it, but that header at the end there falls to Keifer Moore, its a goal!

Awful first half. Needed a reaction after Friday and got the complete opposite. Big HT for Lampard because we can’t play like that again second half.

 

[Nick]

No booking for their player no? 2 handed push, shouts at ref then kicks ball away

 

[curly_tom]

This is frustrating. We need to do something at half time even if it's a fucking bollocking. We have looked decent on the attack occasionally but poor in defence. I think we're missing EMC

 

[duffer]

Hopeless piece of shit. Sliding down the table as fast as we came up.

Erm... We're still top.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Everyone back for corners is killing is

Even with that we're looking very vulnerable from them

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Get Eccles off BTA behind wright

Eccles has been decent

 

[Shannerz]

That's really disappointing. Dreadful goal to give away and then been shite since.

Wright's inability to read the line is beginning to really piss me off, tbh.

 

[Macca]

I 'd say that was more like what I expected this season. First dozen games were an absolute dream mind you

 

[curly_tom]

Wright had he's eyes closed when he went up for that. No commitment what so ever. That should have been buried.

He was definitely committed to the header but just couldn't quite angle it

 

[Briles]

We don't need BTA on the left. Da silva doesn't need help. Get EMC on for Eccles and go for it

 

[Shannerz]

Everyone back for corners is killing is

Yes.

I hate this. All it means is it's really difficult to get out and so keeps the pressure on. I genuinely don't understand it.

 

[MikeyMoo]

Someone has to come off to bring on EMC - I suspect Eccles and Wright comes off at 66 minutes. Not sure what else Lampard can do to improve, if that even does.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

We've got enough big men to spare one to cover the front of the 6 yard box at corners, and we've got enough fast players to leave one up the pitch so we can break. Shouldn't be conceding first contact to a ball in that's less than 6 ft off the ground.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Stoke second, one point behind us, in the live table. They scored 5 on Saturday and early in the second half they are 3 up against Oxford.

I fear the worst on Saturday.

 

[larry_david]

Poor. Can't stand these tossers as well.

Worry about tonight first!

Yet somehow we've let Sheff Utd get the first touch twice from the exact same run to the near post.

 

[stupot07]

Pretty poor half. Eccles for me is too high and we're getting out numbered in midfield again. We look so vulnerable at the back. Wright should have buried that header.

 

[Saddlebrains]

We've been cut open at will again

I cant even put my finger on whats changed, we are full strength outside of Rudoni

Is 3 at the back the key to beating us? The last 4 teams We've played play that, and we've not been great in any of them

 

[Hobo]

We just aren’t looking after the ball and controlling the game. Just going long all the time. A very poor half of football.

Ironically it'll be almost a year to the day since Robins was sacked

 

[DT-R]

Eccles aside, that was a very poor half! Just a continuation from Friday night. Was the start of the season a bit inflated? Have we been found out? Are we now going to settle back in to our natural position of play-offs? Can we do enough to limp through in touch of the autos til Jan when we can bring in reinforcements?

Frustrating as hell.

Lose tonight and again Saturday (Stoke 3-0 up already), then that is the wheels well and truly off.

Can't believe we let him do it the second time.

Tbf, Thomas absolutely leathered O'Hare.

Which was pretty funny, but no yellow was crazy.

 

[Cally Fedora]

As usual it’s just far too easy to get in behind us. We have a RB who wants to play in the front three. Wright off. Swap with BTA. EMC left
