a bit weird today thought we played much better generally, second half specifically, we looked as though we were actually looking for the win. Two points dropped without a doubt for me. another day two or three of those chances would have gone in. Jerry looked a bit lacklustre on the ball, and wasn't getting into the positions he has been doing. Simms wasnt really in the game. You have to say that their young centre half looks a decent prospect and owned Simms. Reminded me a bit of Ian Evatt.
I think we have learnt that you cannot play Mitchell on the right, his right foot is simply so he doesnt fall down. saying that he came on and caused some problems. Turton had a very good game, as did Virtue when he came on, to me he calmed the midfield down a bit. Dougall doesnt look like the same player as before he had COVID but again second half he was doing a lot more of what he was doing when he first arrived, getting in and breaking up the opposition attacks and doing the simple stuff.
still think we are playing a bit too helter skelter, too many long balls to jerry and Simms of which they won maybe two or three the whole game. we are missing Madine, i think he mght have been the one to give a lesson to a young centre half. I want to say a fair result but really i think Fleetwood really really had lady luck with them today. Ill add that our distribution out of defence is really poor at the moment, and at times put us under needless pressure.
also . . . . . ref was absolutely shisser first half and although he was a bit fussy occasionally had a decent game second half, but properly chalk and cheese. Is it possible that one of the liners or the fourth official had words at half time.
