Just a little behind him, Commons had a good end to the first half. Iād like to see Watt come in for Stokes.
Poor half overall anyway.
No real pressure from them and we gave up a goal with possibly their only cross, nevermind their only effort on goal.
Worrying part is more how we reacted to that. Immediately we looked short on confidence, and short on effort. The couple of sloppy touches that had peppered the display became more commonplace, the front players drifted out of the game and we had no cohesive passing game at all.
Improved a bit at the end with Hooper and Commons doing well and Stokes really should have equalised.
Ledley has been very quiet, we need more from him in midfield. Brown to be fair has been prominent despite a few early errors. Izzy and Lustig both wasteful in possession though both have done a couple of things well, particularly Lustig who is possibly trying to do much sometimes. Izzy is just taking poor options.
Stokes hasnāt been at the races. Played in towards goal by Commons when he took a poor touch and had to settle for winning a corner. Then really should have converted that chance at the end. Just hasnāt done enough in general play either, doesnāt seem to be linking well with Commons and he looks short on confidence.
Signing out now to go watch some Wexford county senior hurling championship action. Keep the updates coming, bhoys.
That change is happening.
Wattās a big enough lad (for his age anyway). I wonder what heās like in the air.
Gone to a 4-4-2 with Matthews ahead of Lustig.
Good rise from Watt there. The bhoy looks a real player.
Not bad by the looks of it.
Lustig far more comfortable at right back.
Followed by a decent strike outside the box.
Brines you cunt.
Rogne injured, Wanyama will replace him.
Wonderful play by Watt, really strong and direct on the ball.
How on earth is that a yellow card? Suffering fuck.
Crowd gave it.
Lovely touch by Commons.
Brines has no interest in showing them cards for their cynical fouls in their half.
Slacking off a small bit again now.
Hooper has had a very quiet second half.
McGeouch for Brown.
McGeouch for Brown. So Ledley back into the centre. Thought Brown had a decent game.
