1/4 done. looked really good and very much competing. If we are going to go longer, we need 2 up top at some point

I'm sorry, we're not. We can't pass. We can't trap or control the ball. Luckily, 'Boro haven't got going.

Hopefully we improve.

We look poor, no style or pattern to our play again. And very defensive with too much respect given to the opposition.

Im hoping it part of our tactic; allow them to have the play, don’t concede and come out all guns blazing second half when they’re tired.

Allen and Shipley offering nothing in the AM roles.

Shipley just isn't good enough unfortunately. He just seems off the pace.

it's almost as if we're in a higher league playing teams with far superior players!

Didnt realise they had Morsy.

Hopefully Hamer won't get wound up by him.

Guarantee Warnock has someone primed for the job.

Sometimes those far superior players are 20 yards away when we toblorone boot it to them

I get that mate, but 10 yard simple passes seem to be a struggle this season

Fook sake why pump balls up against the giants we play every week and look 2 yards off the pace when the ball goes over the halfway line?
Have a word with Mobray and get some tips on what we are against. We seem to be busy fools.

You’re right, just a difficult time to be cheerful!

Their commentator said it best.... We're playing a back 5... They aren't wing backs tonight

Giles is usually an outlet in games like this, but he's barely had a touch. A set piece is probably our best / only chance.

Has Shipley actually touched the ball yet?

Genuine question.

Really like Hamer/Sheaf can see it starting to gel. Our front 3 make Micky Quinn look quick though.

is a bit of an over simplistic view.
The man on the ball was more often than not blessed with options last year, makes the passing a lot easier, that simply isn't happening this year.

Yeah I was just logging in to say the same and Oggy nailed it with his summary. We're so defensive. Guess we've been sent out to get to half time without conceding but it's awful to watch.
The passing is awful because the progressive pass from the wing backs and bottom of the box is having to travel 25 yards instead of 10. Too easy to cut out.

Feel for Godden... There is 15 yards at any given time between him and anybody else
