4-3-3 second half please, go after this lot. We’ve got the attack to score goals

I wouldn’t change anything personally. We’ve dealt well with their attack so far, and we’ve shown we can spring a decent counter attack.

We should be 2-1 up really. Throw in the penalty shout, and it could be more.

Good game to watch , end to end and could be 3-3 if I’m honest , the winner will be whoever has the composure in the box

 

[brigg blue]

Keep it as we are, keep getting players and balls into the box and we'll get the winner

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Much better but AGAIN, we are missing chances which could cost us dearly.

4-3-3 second half please, go after this lot. We’ve got the attack to score goals

We’ve been getting plenty of people into the box and have been on top for 20 minutes. No need to change anything yet.

 

[Special Blue]

Nice to see us getting players in the box!

Selective memory, they could have scored several as well. Oxley had far more to do

Cordner: good, and as ever, Akinola, RHF getting through work.
Good half for Elvis, obviously, but why, oh why didn't he just hammer with his left down the middle?
Was about to call out ANG until he got away down the left, while Demi and Hart have been passengers.
Thank the stars for John White!

 

[in the know]

Blxxdy pro players that can't use they're left foot at all!!! Not even an attempt to! Jeeez
But think Elvis doing well
New guy seems good without being great..... Yet ... Early days
Akimola and AnG can manufacture a goal tonight I think
Hart is winning headers but both he and Taylor seem a bit lethargic
The next 10 mins, as usual, will decide the game (I don't mean half time!!!!)

 

[MisterStubbs]

A good end to half after a poor start to the game. Thought we responded brilliantly (for a change) after going a goal behind and since then have been the better team. Should probably be going in 2-1 ahead in truth. Big 45 minutes ahead.

I think our front 3 look really lively tonight.
As long as they don’t fade , I can see them causing problems in the second half.

 

[Worcester Shrimper64]

Pleased with how we've got back in to this game. The way it started I wasn't holding much hope.

A point from this would be great in my eyes.

Have you got them shut. We need all 3 points badly. Open your eyes and look at the table.

 

[Tommy2holes]

It's one of those games. Neither team very good. Conditions are awful.

Both teams can win it easily or lose by a big margin. Could easily end up 4-4.

Not enough pressing and they are getting in with balls in behind.

I wish we would revert to 4-4-2

I hate this 3 centre halves.

Akinola and the new lad been the best players for us.

The pitch is looking cut to bits.

 

[1966 and all that]

Will someone tell the West Stand Lino the rules about foul throws? Or can you now have one foot in the air?

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Yes, my worry is that JD and KT are also likely to fade in last 20 minutes too.

Not bottom at the moment.

Wasnt a penalty! But close

Still going down if we finish where we are.

 

[sufc4life21]

Let's go win this!

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Got back into this and playing well! Elvis should have had a second! We can win this
