RWB.

Not seen Allen or Godden. I’d take Allen off.

 

[Grendel]

Genuinely forgot Allen was playing.

The incredible Jamie Allen? Surely not

 

[Tommo1993]

Bidwell should’ve done better. But I’m pretty much pinning the goal on Moore.

Coming for a cross is like tackling a fire. Do you ‘think’ you can sort it? Leave it alone. Do you ‘know’ you can sort it? Go for it.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Wonder what plan b is?

The university isn't it... locate your meeting minutes

 

[CanadianCCFC]

At LWB?

Or RWB, wherever he’s more comfortable

 

[Theonlywayisskyblue]

Keep the faith - reminds me of Forest first game last season

Lack of pace still a major problem throughout the team

 

[Tea & Busquets]

Would rather Jamie Allen from Love Island right now. At least he knows how to score!

Never seen anyone say Jamie Allen is incredible. Stop making things up to score imaginary internet points.

Panzo's effort looked in all the way-really really unlucky.

 

[Briles]

He's had a stinker. Pushed out of the way for the goal, missing 5 yard passes, not giving anything going forward.

This isn't under-8s football, you don't get your hand held and a 'better luck next time' badge.

He a CM. Robins picked him for RB

 

[torchomatic]

Moore was at fault for the goal. Stupid coming out like that. Too many wayward passes too. Get Allen off.

 

[Finham]

Despite two RB's on the books. Bombing Kane out looks to be a mistake now.

Amazing save tbf

Over the 2 actual players who play in that position.

Christ even that young lad from Spurs would have been better at RWB

 

[robbiekeane]

We should get off Eccles back
He's having a hard time but not hiding
Hopefully he'll settle down 2nd half

I don’t think anyones blaming eccles, just saying he’s an odd choice out of position with two rwbs on the books and it shows

 

[steve101]

Think Fadz had a good half. One excellent full blooded challenge. He doesn't seem to be getting an outlet from midfield often enough. I would take Hamer off, drop Allen deeper and bring Palmer on. If fit enough I would bring Dabo on for Eccles. Not sure what to do about Bidwell who has been pretty awful. Maybe Doyle?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Pretty mental that we’re playing 5-3-2 with neither the wing-backs or the attacking midfielder to play it.

Tactical inflexibility is an issue imo.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Can we move eccles to left back in the changing rooms

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Get Dabo on asap

 

[Nick]

No changes yet.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Amazing save tbf

Fair dos if so

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

We will win this

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Sunderland have looked the more threatening side on the balance of play, but their goal was totally preventable and thanks to Moore’s moment of sheer stupidity. Hamer also picked up a stupid yellow yet Sunderland’s Ballard can’t be booked despite manhandling Gyo over several bookable offences - go figure. Eccles is not ready for prime time and Allen only plays better with COH by his side (same can be said for the whole team). Panzo has been the lone bright spark on an otherwise dire first half.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Doesn't excuse missing passes and getting out-muscled by little Jack Clarke.

 

[Sick Boy]

No subs.

 

[stupot07]

Seeing the goal back from the other view, their player full on pushed Eccles out the way with 2 hands in his back.

Yeah, not so much a criticism of him but very obvious square peg in a round hole.

 

[Nick]

Eccles has it by their box, within seconds it's near ours.

 

[Tommo1993]

No changes yet.

Probably wait until 2-0

Yeah, he did it again after.

The player also did it on Godden after Panzo hit the bar.

 

[The CableGuy]

Man, our crossing can only get better from here.

 

[robbiekeane]

Panzo crucial tackle

 

[jordan210]

Simple passes ffs

 

[Nick]

Panzo getting us out the shit there.
