Asante and torp play we win that, simple, you can see what we’re missing, we’ve stopped pressing teams, Asante was setting the press from the front, teams have got too much time against us, they just play through us, there’s gaps everywhere

Tempo again.

It’s the big difference. Teams have been trying to catch our high line for ages, but it’s become gradually more difficult to break teams down as we progress the ball more slowly.

Thought he was ok today. Another one clearly playing while injured but some fans seem incapable of recognising that. He’ll be back to his best soon

This…and the shift in tempo corresponds to Rudoni’s reintroduction to the team.

Our early season form was due to incisive, one-touch passing and pace. We’d swarm the opposition, and the bombardment created gaps and goals. It was almost impossible to defend against.

Now we’re slowing the play and trying to pass it through the lines. Teams counter that easily with a low block.

Basically it’s regressed back to a lot of what we saw last season.

I said in the match thread that I think there’s something in him having a shoulder issue.

There was a rumour he needed an op and it was do it immediately and he’d miss most of the season or manage it and have the op towards the summer.

I think that seems to ring true and we’ve risked it to have him available now because we don’t have a big enough squad to miss our only number 10.

Problem is he’s now playing completely within himself as he doesn’t want to aggravate it more. People can say that it’s got nothing to do with him playing the ball out under no pressure but when a football isn’t fully committed then they end up playing inside themselves.

The irony is, we’re normally useless before Christmas and unbeatable thereafter - we seem to have switched the form seasons around this year!!

The season hinges now on our transfer activity.

Yes a couple of decent signings and players fit again, we're back on track.
I have faith in FL and his team. They have some time to sort things out now

Disagree..i thought we win that game 8 times out of 10 if replayed again.

Thought we controlled the game start to finish.

Look at our xg..and look at theirs..they had 3 shots 3 goals. Usually they need about 30 shots to score 3.

Yes our defending wasnt great some individual mistakes.

We scored 2 good goals....and missed a couple of sitters.

Kitching header ! And simms side foot. As well as other decent chances. Just didnt fall for us.

Also we have had a clear assaukt on EMC in the box. So we have created more than enough! To win this game 4-1 or 4-2.

Look we are never going to recapture the form of first 18/19 games. Otherwise we would be the greatest team to be promoted..aint happening.
