Stall at HT: Played pretty well, paid the price for not closing down the scorer.

We're a better football team than them, with better individual players.

We've been let down by finishing and you can't afford to have 2 players not contributing enough - Nemane & Langstaff
The switch of wingers hasn't worked. Crowley and Jones are great but can't combine. They both want to be the one playing the ball not running on to it. Neither AN or JJ are as comfortable playing on their weaker foot.

They've got two players on Nemane - maybe one reason we're able to play through the middle (hard to tell on the TV).

Jodi keeps getting flattened. Ref is doing nothing. Agree AN and JJ are struggling to cross from their weaker feet.

We're winning a lot of 50/50s in their half, which is really nice to see. Still giving them a lot of space when they come in numbers though.

What TV is the match on?

We were the best team but they always look dangerous. Agreed we look better through the middle. Why are the refs so weak in this league, they're ****ing ****.

How have we not scored at least once from the scrambles and the McGoldrick chance. It's like we've got a gypsy curse on us at Field Mill.

Robertson looking a lot better than previously.

Well id like to see that one that hit the crossbar again as it looked in to me.

Agree. Crowley and Nemane have a good understanding and neither Nemane or Jones like to cross with their other foot. Even at the end then Nemane on the byline brought it back into his right. Change them this half please, Jones is top assister on the left.

We've been the better team but just feels like one of those days to me. They're good on crosses as well so we might let in another. Still I'm encouraged by the performance, it's no much better than last week and we've turned up for this derby. Plenty to play for yet. COYP

That Didzy chance after two mins, it's feels bad to be critical but he's got to be putting that in the net.

[meoldlaner]

Yes we need to switch An and JJ back to where they belong.
Robertson has impressed me and we are the better team. Just need that goal.
