Screening our defence, cutting balls out and getting us on the front foot, keeping the ball.

So he’s been disciplined. His ball retention wasn’t good for the first half hour.

I don’t think any player in pink can be said to be running the game with them totally dominating possession and with us so deep and wasteful with the ball for the first half hour of the game
 
Playing well, Pembele and Styles done well, Ballard needs to calm down though, very lucky to still be on the pitch. Keep it tight, concentrate lads and catch them on the counter 2nd half. Ha'way The Lads!

Hume has a lot to learn. He had a decent run last season then went to pot towards the end, had a couple decent games this season but by my count he's cost us 6 goals at least. The kid just dives in, misses then they're on goal or he's out of position letting them score. Don't know what gans through his head half the time.

Not good enough, gets stuck in, which when we are winning looks great, but when the team aren't winning the weaknesses like the diving in and losing in possession really stand out.

He’s been quality tonight so far bar one missed tackle. Jesus man.

No. He’s been ok. Disciplined in position and made some good tackles. Hasn’t done much with the ball and like the rest of the team was wasteful in the first half hour.

The stick Ekwah is getting is also daft.

There seems to be little room for a bit of measure! It’s either exceptional, brilliant or absolutely shite. This performance, collectively and individually, has been none of those things on balance across that 45 minutes

Been a solid away performance against a team that’s got a brilliant home record.

I think Ekwah has looked iffy again if I’m honest. How easy Somerville turned him early on sticks out. He’s had a poor season.

Neil about the pick of our bunch from first 45 from what I’ve seen.

Get Ekwah off for Alese. Somebody who might give Dan Neil a hand in midfield. Get Bellingham off for Hemir. Tell him to get on the last mans shoulder and hoy himself about. Instruct Pembele, Rigg and Clarke to fire some crosses in. Get Hume to launch Bamford.

You missed out -‘kick it in the net’
Don’t understand why Dodds didn’t tell the players to do that.
