Holmes_and_Watson

He's practising for a step up to the Prem, where he;ll have to wait for ages before any decision is made. 🙂

Aribo doing what we see from Stephens. They know form training where people should be. They pass without checking it out, and an opponent is in front of the target player. Aribo booked for holding his arm out and their player running into it.

If Sule was able to get into the box more centrally, he'd get better outcomes. Needs a high line from them for him to be able to do that today.

Row Z from Bednarek A "take that Martin Ball!" clearance.

Tsk. Needlessly passed back by Manning, all along the back to be given away by THB in the end. Beofre that though was a nice Baz kick to a player in space. mara on for Adams.

Smart play by Downes. Good awareness from Aribo to both help set up that attack. Adams there as well for a tap in before it came back to Rothwell.

4!!!!! Rothwelll

Manning holding off two of their players, with no a massive amount of support there.

Rothwell!!!!! Doing the thing he does best!!!!!

MartinBall out form the back failed a bit there. We''re making a heck of a lot of work getting it out of our own third.

We had opportunities to get that clear. But we tried to keep control, allowed him to get central and curl in the shot. >sigh< Stu off for Rothwell. Bree on for Stephens.

2 for them. We made a total mess of that one.

Up the other end Che and Aribo show some strength. Hopefully, this will start to push them back and settle us down.

Their 14 wasn;t far from getting on the edn of that deep ball in. Baz nearly gifts them a good chance. Shot from a tight angle as THB keeps it right. He's not happy at the change of momentum since the subs.

another yellow for them for blocking the freekick. hopefully one of them will pick up a second.

Manning and Sule choosing to fall over rahter than get it clear. Allowing them the shot which is past Baz. I predicted 3-1, so I'm not worried. Looking forward to the third.

Bah!

Yup, we're looking to use Sule. Good to see. Because as he hopefully learns what to do with it, the rest can learn the weight of passes to give him the best chance.

Mowbray knew Martin's system and dismantled it. They decided he wasn;t good enough a manager for them.

AA was getting space out left, so hopefully there's plenty for Sule to take advantage of... and he does. Just couldn;t get the final ball in. Waited before getting it over.

Sule and Aribo on for ... Smallbone and Brooks (both have done well)

Oh, nearly. Brooks did well winnign the ball back. What looked like a lovely pass, but just a fraction too much on it for Adams who had got clear. Nice stuff. We're continuing the way we were in the first half. Downes makes such a difference. Not least, it's allowing Smallbone to be freed up to be all over the place.

More lovely passing from us. A real mix, leading to a chance.

AA going for goal again. A lovely move, with little first time passes in it and one long one out wide to AA in plenty of space.

Tell fibs, it was the defender who took it away from Stu.
