Need to get passing this ball more, we've the better players but when you boot it up it's anyones game.

Stop hoofing it and pass it.

We’re hoofing it because they are all over us like a rash and we don’t have enough players comfortable in possession

We've shown it in spells before and in other games then some games it goes missing. You have to be set up and believing in it.

Right now we're going long altar too much and just giving it away, pointless.
 
As boring as this sounds (and we should be aiming for more, in general), but not having conceded in that first 45mins feels like an achievement.

We need to keep it calm and believe in ourselves. There is a chink in their armour.
 
Not sure what to think about that half. We do look chaotic at the back sometimes. CJ could do so much more. So could dembele. Bees looks a handful with Joseph.
CJ is the key here, getting space but standing on the ball. Come on man attack them
 
A much better away display based on what we've done in previous away games

Byers has played some lovely passes but also guilty of getting caught in possession too many times.

All to play for.
 
Poor for me, sorry but we're so much better than this, or are capable of being, but we're lumping it forward, indecisive, misplaced passing putting us in trouble, no real goal threat.

They've just come up, I don't care where they are, we are capable of being far better than this.

It's about time we started showing our class.

Agree. We see those stray passes far too often.

I feel like the balance up top is right in Beesley and Joseph- League One is all physical.

I wonder if we will see Carey later - he has technical ability but has gone missing for ages.

Agreed. I now see why Critch started him. So much space behind their full back and CJ needs to be more positive and just push it and run.
 
Started quite well, but we continually gifted them the initiative with wayward passing.

Connolly had a good half,including a goal saving block. Credit where it's due as I said i would have preferred Casey when the starting 11 was announced.

Beesley also had a good half, when he got a bit of service

We've got to keep the ball better in the 2nd half
