Dabo is improving

His passing is very rusty which is perhaps understandable. What is more worrying is his tendancy to wander out of position when we are defending and leaving his man wide open.

It’d almost be worth conceding a penalty

We know he's Clive, but he's our Clive.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Anybody else worried that Hamer and Ostigard are on yellows.....??......
Neither have been known to hold back despite that being the case....

A bit, but it's reassuring they could be replaced with the experience of Kelly and Fadz.

 

[CanuckSkyBlue]

Sheaf’s next foul will be a booking, don’t want Hamer off but it’s a risk. O’hare to come on later!

Mcfadz, I don’t think we’re missing him? He’s got his fans but he’s off this level for me.

Match sharpness

3 guesses mate...

I’d imagine it’s probably the 16 years of experience covering lower league football on the radio.

Huge improvement tonight. Standard of officiating isn't much better in the Championship than League One. As much as I hate the phrase do we need to become more streetwise?

We need to learn how to manipulate the decisions in the same way our opponents do. And I don’t agree with it either, but we are disadvantaged by other teams being better at it than us. We need every single thing we can do to improve our results.

Mcfadz has arguably been player of the season so far he’s being rested/rotated

Are the languages different? I had assumed it was the same with maybe just a different dialect

A lot of the words are almost identical maybe just a letter or two different. They have no real problem understanding each other. The Slovaks have many words identical to Czech, as well as there own version, which they do like to prefer to use when speaking to Czechs, just to be awkward Děkujem is thank you in Czech, Ďakujem in Slovak. It's probably harder for us to understand a Geordie!

The positive for Godden with 2 up is he doesn't have destroy himself got 90 mins... And hopefully has the energy late on to get to a ball and score

Walker is a very similar replacement IMO if required. Prob more likely Biamou will tire but he's (IMO) made a difference.

If we get a clean sheet, you couldn’t start him next week. Get why people like him but not for me.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Godden coming into midfield to win headers because Shipley is too scared.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Sheaf’s passing is top drawer

 

[duffer]

Later on Sky’s ‘Reading Tonight’ show, a look through the Royal’s Simod Cup runs of the 1980s. Who are that lot in light blue, by the way?

World's smallest violin playing just for you

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We have done well - you have to question why we signed walker and not a number 9 and why we don’t play two up front as Godden is much better

Hamer and Sheaf are far the best players we have but Hamer is a disaster on discipline - ostigard is equally reckless as well.

Crucial second half

Max done well??

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Nice thinking by Hamer didn’t quite come off

 

[CanuckSkyBlue]

Godden’s held the ball up well, really helped us out

If we keep a clean sheet I’ll agree

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Chance for godden

 

[CovInEssex]

gotta hit the target

 

[ccfcchris]

God should have done better.

 

[jordan210]

Godden needs to hit the target

 

[Greggs]

should be 3 - 0 up

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Aaaaaargh Godden

 

[mark82]

Playing well but missing chances. Can't help but feel we're gonna get sucker punched.

 

[cc84cov]

Wasn’t set rushed it leaning back poor technique

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Godden has to got the target

 

[Alkhen]

Poor from Godden, has to keep that low on this greasy surface

 

[mark82]

What was that for?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Ref is so biased

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Ever the critic eh

No, we're just lulling them into a false sense of security

 

[jordan210]

Thats soft. we never win free kicks for things like that
