Roberts has been poor. Neil’s been alright but - same as Jobe - not firing on or dynamic enough for me

We are playing two in the middle, both can’t drop off or step passed their midfield without the ball as we’ll be too open if we lose it.

It’s different in the three we’ve been playing most of the season.

That said if our decisions were better on the counter we’d have nicked a goal that would have changed the game.

They’ll become more open as their get more desperate and hopefully Mayenda and/or Isidor still have enough in their legs to kill the game off with a goal on the break.

If not Romaine it is our time!
 

Link up play is completely lacking and struggling to keep the ball with only 4 in midfield. Isidor gunna score 63rd minute though, game over

Horrible listening to the commentary from Sky, they are major biased towards Coventry. Anyway the game itself, we need to be better at the counter attacks some sloppy passes, same feeling as the 1st leg at half time, keep it tight and catch them on the counter 2nd half, probably move Le Fee centre and bring on Mundle after 60mins. Still feel we will go through. Ballard has been our best player.

Who would you take off?
 
Roberts needs to control the ball better while Bellingham needs a rocket up his arse. Isidor is pretty much doing what he always does unless he's scoring a goal. If we had a RW its be one of the first changes we make. If we want more if the ball then Mundle for Roberts, drop Mayenda to the right and Lee Fee into the middle could work but I doubt we'll change formation

Like they're all dead on their feet. Gap between midfield and attack is so big, and once again now movement at all on throwins

Our central midfield doesn’t get forward, unless they are making a rare run through the middle with the ball, then lose it if they do. It has been the problem since November. You rarely get more than one of the three going into the final third.

Agreed, I’d have Wilson off on 60 for Mundle coming on (if he is ready)
