There does seem to be a consistent pattern where we do better in the second half. I think teams start to lose heart when they see that we are technically a bit better than them. Hopefully that will rub off on our players and increase their confidence so that we don't have to wait a full 45...

Worked fine for me until I had to go to a midday meeting. Saw the first 15 mins and the final 10 mins.

Speedie was exceptionally good in the air, way way better than Beavon or McNulty. So Speedie was pretty good at holding up the ball. Obviously Aguero and Maradona are special cases as their ball control are better than anything we are going to see in L2.

Let's be honest, he has done it only once so far this season.

Having seen the replay I think it was a red because the player was cutting inside while Rod's momentum was taking him in the opposite direction. Their player would have been through on goal if he hadn't been clipped by Rod.

Beavon doesn't have the height to make the ball stick up front and neither does McNulty. Almost every header is won by the opposition defence and the ball comes straight back instead of staying up around their penalty box. I've watched every game this season and the pattern is pretty obvious, at...

I feel our main problem is not having someone up front who can make the ball stick. Not sure if Ponticelli can address that weakness in the team, but I think The Duck could perform that role.

Beavon is clearly a good technical player. Maybe he would be better off as a centre mid where he is not under pressure to score goals?

We are failing to create many chances and we also waste most of the decent opportunities that we get, especially free kicks on the edge of the box.

When "speed" is a transitive verb, the past tense is usually "speeded" (although "sped" is being increasingly used in this situation). Speeded vs. Sped

He gave us an assist in our first away game.

Not sure why they don't upload the entire game right after it finishes. That would allow a lot of overseas fans to stay in bed a bit longer instead of having to get up at the crack of dawn.

Clarke? Don't you mean Davis?

Plus, as many onion bhajis as he can eat. We'll probably resign him once he looks like a Sumo wrestler.

Embarrassing on the radio today when they were asking (begging) him to come back in a year or two. I'm not sure Baker is good enough right now, much less in a couple of years.

I don't think the ref appreciated being called a fat bastard by the home crowd. Obviously the truth hurts.

Several times, he beat or ran past 3 players. Very harsh to say that he didn't do much other than the goal.

Things will click if we can find someone upfront who is as dangerous as Jones. Otherwise, this looks like a mid-table team.

Last week's save was fantastic. Today he did everything that was expected. It seems a bit of an overreaction to describe a keeper's performance as "fantastic" just because he didn't fuck up anything.

Seriously? Even Jones?
