[Yorkshire SB]

Allen been dreadful

 

---

[Happy_Martian]

Officials crap

Sky Sports + commentary, so effin' biased it's crazy.

 

[David O'Day]

he just kicked binks in front of the lino

 

[Frostie]

Assuming he's fit, Eccles has to be on for Allen at half-time. Leaving him out, especially with Sheaf unavailable, was insane.

 

[SBAndy]

Bidwell also quietly having a bit of a stinker.

 

[Nick]

How the fuck hasnt he given that on binks? Literally booted him

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Extremely pedestrian by Binks

 

[stupot07]

Always concerning when the linesman flags for a throw in rather than an offside.

The ball curled out then back into play. I'd have thought the offside was the first offence though

 

[Grendel]

Our wide players are not in the game at all

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Just mental AAATB there. Madness

 

[wingy]

How the fuck hasnt he given that on binks? Literally booted him

Enthusiasm!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’ve been extremely disappointed in Mason Clarke, looked no better than Tavares

 

[Johnnythespider]

Good by Dovin then

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Struggling to see what the game plan is at the moment.

 

[PVA]

Great pass from Dovin there

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Good distribution by Dovin

 

[Jamesimus]

Simms has been doing his job whenever he’s had to hold it up, he has.

 

[pusbccfc]

Excellent passing around the back then but the away end is panicking and moaning because we aren't going long ffs

 

[Evo1883]

Our wide players are not in the game at all

Neither being played into the game at all

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Stoke's pressing and passes around the back are giving me palpitations

 

[Great_Expectations]

Torp and Allen have been a perfect combination of weak defensively, anonymous and poor on the ball.

Sakamoto and EMC very, very quiet too.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Is Binks really better than Kitching? Got beat extremely easy there

 

[Evo1883]

Simms is so isolated

 

[Darth Robins]

Excellent passing around the back then but the away end is panicking and moaning because we aren't going long ffs

Forward!

 

[Winny the Bish]

Rudoni having to drop deep because Allen isnt making himself an option enough. Takes JA ages to get in the positions Sheaf just naturally occupies.

 

[LastGarrison]

Simms has been doing his job whenever he’s had to hold it up, he has.

The three behind him just look too far away. Not connecting with each other in the slightest.

 

[Evo1883]

Is Binks really better than Kitching? Got beat extremely easy there

The back line is under so much pressure it's bound to make a mistake eventually

 

[Great_Expectations]

Binks having a good game.

Which is a shame, as it shows how on the back foot we are.

 

[Jamesimus]

The three behind him just look too far away. Not connecting with each other in the slightest.

Allen and Torp often seem to be very deep when they don’t even need to be.

 

[Quball]

Is Binks really better than Kitching? Got beat extremely easy there

probably just bit cautious after the early yellow

 

[Evo1883]

Our midfield has no structure at all , it's like the 3 of them have been given a fuxking free role

 

[Bristol sky blue]

How I have missed this classic SBT first half thread...!!!I Honestly think we can and will turn this around in 2nd half. It does highlight our need for another midfielder though, even when Sheaf is back...

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Even with Sheaf we still desperately need a CM - Allen and Torp aren’t the full time answers

 

[SkyblueTexan]

We have been on the ropes this whole half. They have played like what I expected of us and we have played like what I expected of them. The script has been totally flipped.

 

[Jamesimus]

I’ve been extremely disappointed in Mason Clarke, looked no better than Tavares

You could say it’s early days still, but then again, he has now played over 40 minutes of competitive football for us…
