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

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.

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.

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

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

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
