[BornSlippySkyBlue]

He's changed half the side to be fair

Yep, don’t you think we look off the pace a bit?

Bit leftfield but think I'd sacrifice Allen for Hiwula as first sub. Their oafs at the back will hate his pace and think we're carrying the ball too much today with Allen and O'Hare's dribbling. Need to pass and move a bit more and leave their donkeys chasing their own tails.

Agree, they seem to be squeezing up as far as possible to take away space in between defence and their midfield

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Hands up everyone that said they'd be happy with 1-0. You know who you are.

He he he

 

[skybluegod]

Started well and faded fast - Bakayoko is so frustrating - early goal and dominating their defenders for 15 minutes then nothing

Midfield look casual

Need to regroup at half time

Yep sums it up.

Baka looked unplayable for 15 mins. Think Allen has been poor, his first touch has been pretty awful.

Bolton are there for the taking, just need to start taking control in the middle of the park.

Does have a MK Dons feel about it, but we should see this out.

My word it's flat in here today. It's like being at a youth game. Even the players look bored. The sooner we leave this place the better.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Well I hope he tells them that wasn't an acceptable level of intensity at half time and gives them 10 minutes to improve but that performance was too hungover considering we brought 5 players in.

Yup just expecting crap teams to roll over isn't going to make them do so. Go out there and show why they're bottom

 

[CCFC54321]

Don’t have a good feeling about this second half at all....

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yep, don’t you think we look off the pace a bit?

Think we just took our feet off the gas expecting an easy afternoon, nearly paid for that after their lad skinned both central defenders.

They're bottom because they were docked 10 points.

 

[cc84cov]

Crying out for runners into space behind their higher line

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Anyway back to the 2nd half

 

[Sick Boy]

Need another early goal

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They're bottom because they were docked 10 points.

They'd be pretty close without it

Won't be flat on Tuesday I sense

 

[Johhny Blue]

We did have 5 of 5 on target in the first half. That's a positive

 

[glasgowfan]

They're bottom because they were docked 10 points.

And if they weren't docked 10 points, they'd be 2nd bottom

 

[Johhny Blue]

That one should be a barnburner. Hopefully we're up for it.

 

[Johhny Blue]

And if they weren't docked 10 points, they'd be 2nd bottom

Is there a 2nd bottom?

 

[Grendel]

Chance for them - sloppy play

 

[glasgowfan]

Is there a 2nd bottom?

How about penultimate? Though that seems a bit OTT for a footie board

 

[Nick]

We need another for comfort

 

[cc84cov]

Probably one of the poorest games I’ve seen Rose play today

 

[Grendel]

Bakayoko clearly thinks his work is done for the day

 

[Johhny Blue]

Probably one of the poorest games I’ve seen Rose play today

How many has he played today?

 

[cc84cov]

Allen & O’Hare doing their best to be dropped for Tuesday today poor from both O’Hare can be so frustrating

 

[ccfcway]

We aren’t making this easy.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Bakayoko clearly thinks his work is done for the day

It might be

 

[CanuckSkyBlue]

Defending at 6’s and 7’s at the moment

 

[Nick]

That was handball all day from their defender

 

[ccfcway]

Defending at 6’s and 7’s at the moment

Burge would have been a 4

 

[ccfcchris]

Portsmouth heading for 9th consecutive win.

I can’t see us beating Portsmouth, but for autos I feel we need to

 

[Grendel]

It might be

It should be - I’d pull him off and put Biamou on

 

[ccfcway]

Game is continuing whilst a Bolton fc carrier bag is lying on the pitch

 

[mark82]

Portsmouth heading for 9th consecutive win.

They'll beat us comfortably on Tuesday I reckon. Just a better all round team at the moment. We're struggling against bottom of the league at home right now.
