[Nick]

Nothing up front still

 

[Nick]

They go close again

 

[Grendel]

We had 3 on 1 and still couldn’t make s worthwhile effort and they just miss on the counter

 

[runner]

Like many saying ... early days ... but loads of possession ... no end product still ...

 

[Esoterica]

Just looked again at the team sheet. Of our 10 outfielders, only one had played for us prior to the start of last season. Maybe that's justbhow football generally is now, but such turnover seems crazy to me.

Of our 10 outfielder players I bet at least half had never played for anyone prior to the start of last season!

 

[Great_Expectations]

Willis starting to get bullied.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Nice save from Burge to knock it away. Still can’t shoot for toffee

 

[Great_Expectations]

How do you know it’s not his position if you don’t know the formation? :emoji_thinking:

I’ll assume that’s sarcasm as opposed to stupidity?!

 

[Nick]

Can see them getting a sucker punch. I hope not

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Do we practise set pieces? Can’t take them and can’t defend them. Woeful.

I would agree with this. There's not a lot of continuity between seasons for teams. I would guess having a forward partnership ready to go at the start of the season could really help with a promotion push.

 

[Grendel]

Our left back is all over the place not in a good way

 

[ccfcway]

Can see them getting a sucker punch. I hope not

I can see us winning this with an attacking 2nd half. I hope your wrong as you have only given MR this game to get it right haven’t you ?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Meyler looks off the pace.

 

[ccfcway]

Meyler looks off the pace.

He’s not played many games recently

 

[lord_garrincha]

Everytime they go forward it looks too easy for them.

 

[cc84cov]

Meyler looks class to me you can se he’s played at a higher level he’s not Match fit yet

 

[Great_Expectations]

He’s not played many games recently

Yep, and that was the only reservation.

He’s good at winning free kicks though!

And the last how many? Hope I'm wrong but same story so far.

Shots not even getting to their goal

 

[Nick]

They have troubled our goal much more

 

[Grendel]

Meyler looks off the pace.

He’s been involved in some reasonable forward play but will struggle in the second half

 

[Johhny Blue]

Yep, and that was the only reservation.

He’s good at winning free kicks though!

That's step one

 

[Johhny Blue]

He’s been involved in some reasonable forward play but will struggle in the second half

That sums up our season so far

 

[cc84cov]

Should be 1 down creating nothing again as last week no outlet up front

 

[Nick]

We have nothing going forward at all

 

[Nick]

Hiwula v 4 defenders then!

 

[Philosoraptor]

Portsmouth losing again. They're having a bit of a nightmare recently.

Peterborough still drawing.

10 points still from playoffs.

 

[Grendel]

At last a shot on target

 

[Nick]

Sterling forces a save. Easy though

 

[Johhny Blue]

We have nothing going forward at all

And it should be easy today. They have a Holy Goalie

 

[shmmeee]

I’ll assume that’s sarcasm as opposed to stupidity?!

Just general dickishness really

 

[Johhny Blue]

Don't forget Bristol Rovers. 2-0 up away

 

[cc84cov]

Eaves a real handful for our defence type of player we need tall fast & strong

 

[Grendel]

Horror defending could have cost us then
