Fight yes, but that's a bare minimum expected really, its the lack of real quality I am concerned about. He ain't terribly quick, which is a worry. Not sure his first touch, dribbling or crossing is Premier League level. I did see one or two nice balls down the line for the winger to run on to. That is encouraging. Maybe he just needs time to find his feet. Ralph clearly ain't been impressed either, hence he cant get a game. I'd love him to shine as a left footed is needed, but I just don't see a top quality player there at the moment.

fair enough. Not sure why he couldn't make both subs. He only made two all game in the end.

When we win, I point out stuff that is not good (and may cost us on another occasion) and when we lose I point out stuff that is good (that may help us win dow the line).

I do disagree. The saves he made were not super hard. McCarthy makes all of them. I didn't see the defence's confidence rise when he was glued to his line instead of coming and claiming and over hit through ball that KWP had to hack away for a throw that put us back under pressure. Forster made a massive fuck up with the dropped cross, but luckily got away with it. Did that instil more confidence?

in what way? I saw a `championship at best' type player out there today. He battled hard, as did them all, but he's not particularly great at any facet of the game. Am I being too harsh?

is CB more suited to his laid back style?

we hung on well, but it could easily have gone another way as it has so many other times. The header KWP won against Kane was very unexpected. I thought that was THE chance they were looking for. Fantastic header to win. Made me think of all those Cedric back post nightmare goals we used to concede.

Thought Broja ought to have been brought on a little earlier. He looked sharp and obviously everyone knows he is our best option. Also thought Romeu should have been on for the last ten minutes. I guess Ralph knows better than I how fit our subs are, but JWP needed to come off and fresh legs brought on. It's a mute point now I suppose.

Forster would have deserved to get murdered on here. What a woeful bit of keeping. He is absolutely shite when coming for crosses.

why?

Not just us then that can't put ten men away! Not easy when teams drop deep

well done chaps. Worked very hard. Lots of stuff to defend against but did just enough. Very happy with that.

KWP does enough there.

why on earth are we not making the third sub?

good bravery from Diallo.

he's basically playing left back

Armstrong was struggling to stay with his wide man opponent to be fair. Not quick enough or too tired or both.

Great headed challenge from KWP to beat Kane.

Why is Forster bot coming for that? Rooted to his line.

he certainly looked tired at the end of that game, but he's got to be fresher than JWP at this point.

fair point. He looks tired to me. The Armstrongs do to. Subs needed IMO.

can we make a central midfield sub? Now would be a good time. Lots of tired legs

where is JWPs composure?

JWP keeps hacking it away when he has time. Done it about three or four times now. It's killing us. I know there aren't a lot of options, but got to try and keep it if there is time.

cos he is and always has been crap when coming for crosses. Decent save with his feet afterwards though.
