Bit of a mad first half, well what we saw of it anyway. Definitely winnable but equally wouldn't be particularly surprised if they stuck another 2 or 3 past us.

Need to press them the way they are pressing us.

Games not lost yet though, won't face many tougher matches this season than away at Pompey, if be delighted now with a point

Watching on ifollow and I've noticed comments saying Marosi is worse than Burge, Jobello must be subbed and why isn't Baka starting ahead of Godden. Blimey.

Aside from the goal, Godden has been completely stranded and double marked.

Yeah, was thinking that (from what little I’ve been able to watch). Westbrooke has also been anonymous. But there’s probably no one else to play.

Can't hide in a 3 man midfield and Westbrooke and to an extent Shipley have been, which has pushed us back and sent Kelly deeper. Not sure we've got the players to change the midfield up so Hyam on for Rose for me to try and calm things down so Kelly can get 10 yards higher up the pitch. Kastaneer for Jobello on 60 if he hasn't manned up a bit.

Pretty predictable hysteria. Hasn't been much in this game in reality. Silly error for the 1st goal. They haven't exactly looked comfortable either, Hiwula should have done better with that chance. Long way to go in this game. We lose it, we regroup and learn from it. No need to panic.

He doesn't, he's won a lot in the air, he needs Hiwula and Jobello to get closer to him

Yep, he is far too isolated. He gets up well in the air and they just mop it up as there's nobody near him.

It's all well and good Robins singling out Biamou but the other 2 are nowhere near Godden either.

The stats suggest we are the slightly better side, we need to try and start the second half well

That half, ifollow and the fact I’ve just gone to the fridge to be greeted with no Stella’s has put me in a right mood. Anyone up for meeting up for a fight?

Want half of my rum and coke?

It says 1.69 on the can but I paid 1.30.

We are the better side and stats also confirm that but we shot ourselves in the foot. Still think we could pull this back though.

Only 1 stat matters and that's the score.. something we are going to struggle to do of we don't get Allen in the team and kick Westbrook out.
