SAFC v Benfica B

[Wakey ftm in Sussex]

Can imagine him in his string vest, Bermuda shorts, knotted hanky on his bonce and a carrying a Sainsbury's carrier.

You saw him then

 

[gipetto]

You're assuming he didn't travel just to see the game?

Think he got in on the SAFC package deal? It was a canny deal tbf.

 

[Billy Batts]

We looked a lot better when we made the 5 changes in the second half.

Just choosing to ignore them? Simply not good enough yet again, it's no wonder goals are difficult to come by relying on those two.

Even if we sogn a striker will probably be third choice

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Ross doesn't help them out mind. The gap between midfield and striker is too big.

Leadbitter and Robson were both sitting deep. It only needs one of them to do that. And Gooch was also far too deep at wing back. I'm not sure that's what Ross really wanted.It's very hard for the strikers to look good when they have zero service. It looked much better after half time when McGeouch and Sammut were taking turns in going forward and looking to move it more quickly.

We need to sign a striker that walks straight into the side.

Sammut looked canny

No service, no goals. The fault lay with Leadbitter, Robson and Gooch, all of whom were far too deep.

 

[Boyceyyy]

Sammut looked canny

Agreed. Gets about the pitch well, always involved.

Sammut looked canny

Give us a clue ffs

Not having it mate. They don't offer enough themselves. They don't seem to have any drive or tenacity.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Got involved in most things, looks like he can both break up an attack and pick out a pass. And he was unlucky not to score on the follow up after Watmore hit the bar.

Take the positive of our midfield trying to get forward

 

[Botchie]

He'll be on the Portuguese mega bus back to his hotel now.

 

[PtangYang kiperbang]

Ross, devoid of ideas.

He cant set a team up

“Learned from last season” IIRC

We need to sign a striker that walks straight into the side.

....and still get zero service..

Spot on.

 

[Boyceyyy]

The ref was shite mind. Free kicks given against us so soft.

 

[rubberfacejnr]

Sammut looked canny

Is he youngun we got from Chelsea?
