We have to find a way to bring the intensity we bring against the top sides to games against poorer teams. We seem to be going through the motions just expecting it to happen.

Think it's just the fact that they have everyone behind the ball.

 

[splorty]

Run at them around tge box for a feee kick and let le fee step up

 

[phil]

could see Le Fee moved central and Mayenda on at some point

Le Fee would definitely have more affect playing thru the middle. And Mayenda should be now!

 

[Arfa Sleep]

It’s been shite. No answers to 10 men behind the ball. Get two up top man

It hasn't been shite.

 

[Georgewhitt]

Said 3 nowt before the start.

Still think 3 nowt.

Patience fellas.

 

[safc9450]

You’re a cheerful chap.

Yes,i'm watching the match.It's too near the petrol can !

 

[hank williams]

Don’t know how people are going to vent their frustrations if this board shuts in March

 

[Gideon Gungeon]

I know we aren't going to make any changes at HT, but surely RLB notices that this performance has been uninspiring at best and won't wait as long before the first sub as he usually does, if we come out in a similar vein.

hope they come out with a throbbing blue vein mate, ready to pump the pilgrim's goalhole there

 

[yamar1]

Need a quick goal here, then the rest will follow. Goal difference needs a boost.

 

[joop]

It seems we have attracted some new idiots to the match thread. Welcome.

 

[magic snood]

Samed has been sound. Going about his job perfectly well

I do not disagree - he has done that role well, I think a lot of questions are around whether that role is needed and how useful it is against a team that are sitting back, when we could potentially have Rigg or Mayenda buzzing about. Neil's ability to quickly transition in that deeper role would also make our limited breaks more effective.

 

[Happy_Layabout]

Having both Neil and Samed on the pitch with Mayenda and Rigg on the bench at home to Plymouth looks slightly ridiculous atm.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Think it's just the fact that they have everyone behind the ball.

Not so much parking the bus as the entire bloody depot

 

[parttimer]

Think it's just the fact that they have everyone behind the ball.

yeah, we've always struggled when teams do this but we're creating chances, very comfortable and if we can get 1 goal to open the game up early second half reckon we'll see a couple more

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Probably see poveda later

Possibly Aleksic too, knows where the goal is and he’s quick

 

[Gloucester]

Contrast “Magic Pat” with Le Fee.

Le Fee has put in more balls across the box than Roberts has since Christmas and he is not even a winger.

 

[The soap powder]

I will be amazed if there is any changes at half time

Maybe a tweak or two to be more direct but thats it

Probably see poveda later

he will get 10 mins max got to be careful with him

 

[zidanny]

It’s like people don’t understand football

They were always going to set up to defend and be more compact, hard to break down after the Burnley game. They weren’t just going to roll over after a hammering !

Take a scrappy 1-0 all day. Just get the 3 points, don’t care about pretty !

 

[martinlumley]

Hes been better than neil and jobe

Samed Neil and Jobe tripping over each other.
