Until Chaplin is played up top in the box where we were told where he should play we won’t kniw if he will cut it or not he’s not been used properly
Not much on the bench to change this up in the areas we need to. I'd still be tempted to bring Davies on and put Hyam to defensive midfield at HT. Chaplin out to the left and JCH up with Hiwula after 60.

We look very disjointed, they are pressing well and closing us down, we want too much time in the ball and when we have it we cant wait to give it back to them again with shocking passing.
Not happening for Chaplin and every flick pass he tries just isnt coming off

Bayliss been ok but chaplin is a passenger. Like I said we need him in goal scoring positions only as he can't do anything else it seems
I think a few of you are a bit too critical. Not too bad from us. Plenty of danger coming forward and we will get chances. We do need to keep the ball on the ground though and improve our pass accuracy. They are more hopeful when they come forward and I feel we are not getting to grips with the ping pong balls in our box. Sharpen up there and we will nulify their threat. Doyle not on the pace but will improve second half. Have not seen much of Mason at all.
Only listening on the radio Chaplin seems to be involved in most things Hiwula only been mentioned twice and one of those he never got the ball
Surely not. It's all Doyle's fault that we're not playing well!!
They have been very physical, right from the off with the ref letting them get away with it. They have also pressed us high up the pitch and neither Chaplin or Hiwula have held the ball up front, meaning they have consistently came back at us. Luckily their end product has been poor, because we have also looked defensively ropey, with Willis having an uncharacteristically shaky half, constantly getting caught on the wrong side and out muscled.
Unless things change quickly I think JCH will be on sooner rather than later, and hopefully turn the game around for us.
Difference is we know hiwula ca do something with ball
Chaplin fills you with no confidence. He's slow lightweight and not much coming off
BUT I am not hating. I think he can be a match winner for us. When he got ball on outside if box I was shouting shoot.
He is capable. We just need to play him differently imo
Agree with 1 of above posters too btw. It's not been a horrendous half. Only last 15 mins they took over. This game is in balance.
1 nil Chaplin?...

Ageed. Whilst not a fan, we probably need jCH on to keep the ball in their half for longer, to settle the game down.
Maybe they read the comments on here and assumed we were 0-3 down
