Likewise but I just feel it has a feeling of a game we can change from the bench. Mayenda on for Rigg, let’s be brave. I think it will help us defensively to an extent too, need pace on that side to track back and help Cirkin.

Patto has shown he’s a very decent shot stopper. He’s improved as well in coming for balls and crosses. His distribution is terrible though and needs work. Still very young, especially for a keeper and you’d hope that can be worked on. I think it’s more obvious how bad this aspect of his game is because of the insistence of using him to play out from the back with the ball at his feet.

Mad, it's almost as if you're saying, 2 things can be true at once.

Crazy concept, it'll never catch on.

You have Isador and Mayenda to run into the channels.
The fullbacks have to put a shift in as well.
Roberts has been nonexistent on the wing anyway.
Le Fee would have Isador and Mayenda licking their lips with his incisive balls through.

Yeah, tbf, he's very disciplined in his shape. He plugs the gaps.

The only notable attacks down our right have been after individual errors where we've been caught in transition.

Their best outlet has been the long ball over the top to Anthony.

That’s not remotely true though. That left back has ran past Roberts and cut infield and played a crossfield pass on numerous occasions with no sign of a tackle or any pressure from Roberts. Just because their attack isnt directly coming down our right hand side doesn’t mean Roberts has been good defensively

They have been technically very good, without creating clear chances and long may it continue

They've created a couple like. Great save by Patto and a cracking ball across the 6 yard box that should someone should've been on the end of.

2 more chances like that again and I'd be surprised if we don't concede.

I do think we'll score in the second half though.
