That was decent without being exceptional. We opened them up a few times, and really should be ahead. Wright's got to be burying one of those chances.

You'd imagine there's going to be even less space this half, and there wasn't much in that.

KKH just does not fill me with confidence defensively at all.

if we don’t beat them now we never will, just be patient

Wrights had a decent half , KKH will improve game by game . Maybe give Emc the last half hour or put simms on with wright

He did terrorise them up there a couple of seasons ago down the right.

 

[Shannerz]

His long throws have actually been pretty good!

First one was exceptional. Should have been buried.

I think this is why we’ll stay three at the back without Milan TBH

 

[StrettoBoy]

Middlesbrough two up.

 

[CovveeBreak]

Christ that Haji missed header gets worse every time you watch it.

 

[robbiekeane]

i actually think haji wright dived after the initial foul

 

[clint van damme]

It’s not 5 at the back lol. We are playing with wing backs pushed up. Kitching and Thomas are getting forward. Why disrupt what is working. Even on a tactics board it’s not 5 at the back, let alone what is actually happening on the pitch.

It's just semantics, when people talk about 3 at the back or 5 at the back they're generally talking about the same thing, 3 CBs and 2 WBs
But having EMC on makes sense now we've got an extra man and that would mean going to a 4.

 

[Sick Boy]

KKH looks like he’s nervous at times.

He's not played a lot to be fair to him.

 

[shmmeee]

Don’t think KKH has been as bad as some of his other games tbh. Seems to be trying too hard which is understandable.

Good thing he went down tbh

 

[Cally Fedora]

Doing well on a complete bog. Pitch is dangerous at both ends. Maybe take a CH off and get either Simms or EMC on.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I will say I am somewhat shitting myself at the prospect of Southampton away next week.

No grip to get moving , takes about 3 strides. Not helping our passing either.

 

[skyblue_55]

A typical , dirty team & now trying to get a reaction from Kitchin to even things up .
Their striker shouldn’t be still on the pitch .
Come on City

 

[mrtrench]

Thomas' throw is better than MVE's.

Yeah, but if Milan is on he has to take them. He's not as good as Bobby in the box.

 

[Evo1883]

Looks like EMC is coming on

 

[Ccfcisparks]

We just have to win this now.

 

[Shannerz]

He made a meal of it, definitely.

Stupid of their bloke, though.

 

[JSL]

Looks like EMC is coming on

Who coming off? Rudoni or Woolf?

The Foul on Eccles was awful but not even a word

 

[Evo1883]

Hopefully a defender

We'll smash them!

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

If EMC is on, I'm guessing for Woolfenden and change to 4231?

 

[LastChance]

Yes, he did. But the defender grabbed him with both hands and slowed him down, he was the last man so he's got to go. Well played, Haji

Millwall beat them last week but i imagine we will stay with 5atb

If I had a tenner for every time as a fanbase we’ve seen a player slated - despite playing next to no games - and suddenly just expected to give a 10/10 - I’d be retired.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Leave it 15 minutes then bring on Simms and EMC and go 3-2-5

Exactly. Give the lad time.

 

[JSL]

Going to a back 4 with KKH looking like Bambi fears me

 

[Paxman II]

We should be 3 up!

 

[ptr]

Feel for the Wolf there but had to be done

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Will be tough.
Makes 6 points from tonight and Saturday very important.

The cameraman has panned to Dave Kilcoyne more than he has to Lampard
