When we move it quickly we look really good.
Walker's movement is causing them all kinds of trouble but we need to be quicker to support him.

Defensively still shaky & one mistake is easily punished with a back 4.

McFadzean looks quicker today

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

The Italian commentator is obsessed with Godden, he’s mentioned him at least 5 times already.

It's all in the hair

 

[Seymour_East]

A decent ball for Dabo would be nice in

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

More cheap possession given away

 

[Liquid Gold]

100000000% pen

 

[AOM]

Dabo is proper rusty

 

[clint van damme]

We haven't played a team this bad for weeks.

Apart from in training

 

[Nick]

Just showed the handball replay, it was hand ball based on what they give now.

 

[Greggs]

Has Dabo controlled one yet? He's shit

 

[procdoc]

Dabo’s touch today is awful

 

[Offhegoes]

We need to beating these. Robins right to start cautiously, but we’ll need something more to win it. Baka and Bapaga to come on at some point for me

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

We must be miles top of the league in terms of unforced errors

 

[cc84cov]

Lacking up front we need the 2 I feel if we are to win this

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Still not convinced Dabo is fit. I thought he had more surgery?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Dabo’s touch today is awful

How can you tell?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Dabo way off it.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Dabo’s pace isn’t there either. We need him back at 100%

 

[mark82]

Overplaying in defence again.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Brum also really need a second man up front

 

[Nick]

We are weak down our right.

 

[cc84cov]

Kelly off for max half time drop Hamer alongside sheaf we don’t need 3 holding

 

[Greggs]

McFadzean looks quicker today

are you on speed?!

 

[Nick]

Great challenge from Hamer.

 

[larry_david]

Shippers even touched it yet??

 

[shmmeee]

Dabo looks rusty AF, forgot Shipley was even on the pitch. Not a fan of this shape.

Walker looks dangerous though. Him and Godden will be decent.

 

[fernandopartridge]

5 central midfielders all playing in the same part of the pitch, I don't think we've necessarily looked any more solid we're just playing a poor attacking team.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Kelly off for max half time drop Hamer alongside sheaf we don’t need 3 holding

Try convincing Mark Southgate

 

[Grendel]

Kelly off for max half time drop Hamer alongside sheaf we don’t need 3 holding

Is that a joke?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Change to 5-3-2 at HT please

 

[Nick]

I think Hamer is wasted out on the right.
Shipley has been anonymous.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Lot of endeavour but not much quality from either side. Both defences stretched by any half decent ball

And we’ve chosen a more defensive side for the occasion. Just don’t like this at all

We've played a solid narrow unit after weeks of haemorrhaging goals, an inevitable change for me. And Robins always tries to get to halftime at 0-0 it'll be more expansive after HT. Plus, if there are any question marks over Dabo he'll do less running in a 4 than in at WB. Not too worried so far and Kelly not looking out of place is a bonus.

 

[Evo1883]

This system is dire... It's almost too steady... Zzzzz

 

[cc84cov]

Is that a joke?

Pick anyone of them but we need another man up front we’re toothless with 1 up front...again
