Heart in mouth a few times. We’ve done ok though. Approached the game in exactly the right way

We've looked a lot better that half than last leg, Allen adding more energy for higher pressing and having more effect than Godden did. I reckon they'll be after Hamer next half, Gyok needs to do the same to McNair.

Yeah without a doubt they will try to get players sent off.

We need to.

Sky_Blue_Daz · May 17, 2023

Great first half , they should target McNair now .

Doyle’s booking very harsh I thought

He was very unlucky. He was booked because of a culmination of previous fouls

Garlana86 · May 17, 2023

We're in this game, tough to watch without so much possession, but when we've actually been in decent positions we look dangerous. Tense as f*ck.

It was pretty cynical but the ref is letting them get to him.

Yeh they've got him right where they want him. Cowardly individual.

Thought city were ok .. mcnally can't pass , Kelly jumping in a bit too much .. just need a bit more quality on the ball , Sheaf has to shoot ?? Vik must do better in the 1v1

More than ok

Akpom is such a cheat

As bad as Diallo last night. It's embarrassing

Covkid1968# · May 17, 2023

Great away performance…. Just need that one chance. They will get at least one so we have to hope we can keep them out.

Sky_Blue_Daz · May 17, 2023

My round

Fysnkysc · May 17, 2023

Tidy our passing up our intensity a bit and we win, perfect chance for sheaf/vik to shoot and they both passed.
Commentators pissing me off calling us a counter attacking side when we literally passed the ball 30/40 times before having a chance

Tomh111 · May 17, 2023

Doyle unlucky to be booked, but we had committed a lot of fouls as a team.

Cuffy needs help on the right, or dabo needs to come on.

Sheaf should've stuck his foot through it.

Far more competent/confident with the box in the middle of the park.

Gyokeres needs Allen to get closer to him in transition.

Mcnair has pocketed Vik 3 games straight

TBF when Vik spun him he fouled him

Otis · May 17, 2023

So.....I think we have done pretty well

But, two things ....

1. We are giving too many silly free kicks away

And

2. Some of our passing is sloppy.

The threat is down our right, so we need to get Giles more on the back foot

But we've done okay.

mark82 · May 17, 2023

We've still not had a shot on target.

Got a yellow in his pocket now. Let's see how he does

Nothing wrong with our intensity

SeaSeeEffCee · May 17, 2023

We’ve played reasonably well, although struggling to imposed ourselves going forward. Defence has been very strong again, but also need to stop giving them the opportunities to go down and win as many free kicks as they have been, just lunging in a bit too much.

McNair doing a job on Gyokeres again, one moment aside. Probably need Allen, Hamer or Sheaf to step up and run into the space that is created from Vik dragging McNair around.

Can’t call it either way, absolutely shitting it.

How is Ben sheaf not shooting there? I can't believe it

Adge · May 17, 2023

Phew! Still a bit of a chess match. We’ve set our stall out well so far. Could be a long night……

Yup. Clever play from Vik and he did McNair up good and proper there.

Seymour_East · May 17, 2023

We’re in it to win it….end of

BackRoomRummermill · May 17, 2023

The team seems a little tired but doing a great job so far PUSB

steve101 · May 17, 2023

Pretty even game. Gyokeres needs to step it up again. Shame about the yellows.

PVA · May 17, 2023

We're doing alright, I'd say we're executing the game plan pretty much perfectly. Just need a moment of magic from Vik or Hamer.

CovInEssex · May 17, 2023

Sheaf has a rocket on him as well

CovInEssex · May 17, 2023

Giles was good when he was here, he's double the player now

Got to test the keeper, anything could happen

steve101 · May 17, 2023

Thought McFadzean had a great half.

shmmeee · May 17, 2023

Decent half. Playing out game, bits and pieces to improve, but so proud of the lads. Real battling performance from both sides.

Still in it. That’s all that matters. What will be will be. Got a feeling Vik is going to get away next half cos McNair is on a yellow and it’ll come down to whether he finishes his one on one or not. Just a suspicion.

Still think 0-0. They play a dangerous game though and only need to fuck up once.

procdoc · May 17, 2023

Shout out to Bidwell, defended brilliantly that half

Otis · May 17, 2023

CovInEssex said:

Well he needs to pull it out of his arse and use it then.

CCFCSteve · May 17, 2023

Need to try to isolate McNair. Solid enough half. Very nervy

covhead1 · May 17, 2023

I think we've been OK in patches and not good enough in others.
I still got the feeling this is going to end in a penalty shootout!

napolimp · May 17, 2023

What worries me is that I think we may struggle to get back in the game if we concede. Keeping it tight at the back really is key here.
