Does he go early because he knows he doesn't have any pace? If we had anyone quick up front we'd be all over these with this high line

Yes, needs to time it absolutely right to get in behind. Often means he makes his move too early.

Doyle struggling as I had predicted. No pace, been beaten too easily. You seriously think Rose would be worse?
Overall we are doing OK but need to step it up a bit. bristol look like a team that would fall apart if they concede. Allen does his usual - great for 30 minutes. Sheaf having a better game tonight. Bidwell and dabo need to work the flanks more. We are still getting away with it at the back and need to be better. It could go either way this game. If we don't do anything silly we can win it.

Is he?

 

[SBAndy]

Despite the fact that we still look incredibly iffy in defence, we haven't conceded a goal in 300 minutes now.

We’re on for Reice Charles-Cook’s record to be broken by Ben Wilson. SHFWR.

Godden is so so slow

Thought Doyle was playing well personally.

He is

 

[Tommo1993]

Bristol very much on top and we are barely touching the ball at the moment, I would say.

Perhaps they’ve looked more likely to create something from out wide. Other than that it’s just a game of nothing.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Semenyo is their best bet, they need to get him against Doyle more often

 

[ccfc922]

3 points there for the taking if we move to the tactic of kicking it at their goal

"When they don't score, they hardly ever win" Michael Owen, footballing philosopher.

 

[Offhegoes]

Tav on for Godden need pace .

As if Robins would ever make that change. I agree with you though

 

[ccfc922]

How long til we get a sub then? I'm going with 80 mins unless MR is forced through injury.

 

[Frostie]

Not exactly the most exciting but I think we'll be more than happy with how it's going. Largely nullified the highest scoring side in the division with just one half chance. Sharpen up a bit up top & catch them on the counter.

 

[PVA]

Need to get Gyokeres on King, he should be too much for him

 

[Tommo1993]

When clubs build stands/stadiums too big for them…

 

[PVA]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone misplace as many 5 yard passes as Allen does

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Oh Gyo. Ffs

 

[Otis]

He should have taken that on futher into the box

 

[pusbccfc]

Oh dear Vik.

 

[ccfc922]

Another quality Gyokeres finish

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Oh dear Gyo

 

[jordan210]

Gotta do better. But shows need need pace on king

 

[larry_david]

THERES SO MUCH SPACE

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Great movement by Godden.

 

[Otis]

This is better

 

[Matt smith]

COME ON BOYS

 

[mark82]

Good move then. Unlucky.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

To be fair, when Gyo misses a sitter he usually makes up for it later.

Off the bar! Handball?

 

[SheafIsGod]

Appalling from Gyok.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Looked like their defender saved it then.

 

[Matt smith]

Not gonna be our night

 

[jordan210]

Looks like Fadz wanted a hand ball

 

[Johnnythespider]

Did he touch that, went for it like a keeper

 

[steveo1987]

That was handball

 

[Frostie]

Unlucky, this is exactly the gameplan though.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Looked like their defender saved it then.

Wow. Should have been a penalty and a red card there.

 

[mark82]

Brilliant header by Gyok. Looked like handball on the line.
