John?

 

[Nick]

Henderson goes through Hyam to let him know early doors.

 

[Nick]

Hiwula off for Shipley is a potential change too that will happen.

Mason usually gets tired.

Shipley is coming on for Bayliss.

Interesting how he is now above Westbrooke.

 

[runner]

Oh Good ... Bayliss off and Shipley on ... thinks just keep getting better and better lol ...

Beggars belief

 

[Gazolba]

Change for them, Inman coming on.

He was great in 'Are You Being Served?".

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Hasnt really been tested so not done anything amazing or done anything wrong.

Kicking is straight at least.

Done what he’s supposed to without causing any panic for defence or supporters

Different Horses for different courses?

 

[Esoterica]

Think I'd move Bright to Hiwula's position on the left and put Westbrooke into the central role for a bit sharper, earlier passing.

 

[Nick]

Luke Thomas looks like he is running to Old Trafford he gets turned so badly.

 

[Nick]

Stockdale runs out, catches it and a half decent kick into space for Bakayoko to try and run after.

Signed on a free

 

[Nick]

Kelly shoots....wide and without much power.

 

[Nick]

Shipley with a good ball to Hiwula who shoots...wide and without much power.

Do we sense a theme?

 

[Nick]

Do we sense a theme?

We are trying to cut their grass for them.

 

[Nick]

Bright goes in and wins it and wins a free kick. Issue is it's in our half.

 

[Johhny Blue]

We are trying to cut their grass for them.

What's grass?

 

[Nick]

Bright is now playing deeper than our midfield.

 

[Esoterica]

I thought Shipley looked alright last week for the 20 minutes once he'd been moved from the attacking position ,where he was poor, to the more defensive central role. Hope he takes this opportunity in more of his natural position.

 

[Nick]

Free kick for us about 10 yards from the corner of the box.

 

[cc84cov]

Bright is now playing deeper than our midfield.

Chaplin will be on at wing back soon

 

[skyblueinBaku]

Bright is now playing deeper than our midfield.

Isn't that Chaplin's job?

 

[chiefdave]

They should have scored there. Bit let off.

 

[Nick]

They probably should have scored then if Andrew had a right foot.

Look how many players they got in the box then on the counter attack.

There was about 6 in our box with one just outside the box.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Portsmouth just scored. Now we're the only game without a goal

 

[Nick]

We then go forward with Mason and we have Bakayoko and their defence in the box.

 

[Nick]

Good defensive work from Thomas again.

 

[Esoterica]

We then go forward with Mason and we have Bakayoko and their defence in the box.

And watch that back and watch Hiwula after he passes to Mason. He just stands and watches instead of busting his balls to get back up with play. He's lost on the left, looks like he doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing there most of the time. (he'll score the winner now!)

 

[Nick]

Kelly with a poor through ball, not enough on it for a shot but way too much for a pass.

The issues keep being there no matter which players are playing.

It's the same with the number 10 who keeps playing sweeper. Chaplin or Bright and the issues are there.

 

[Nick]

Shipley shoots.... Guess what?

Goes wide without even testing the keeper.

 

[Nick]

Wonder if he will put Wakefield on for some pace to go at their tired legs?

 

[Johhny Blue]

Goes wide without even testing the keeper.

Who wants to guess the next one
