george thomas is lively

[Nick]

There are some serious hospital passes going on so far.

 

[Johhny Blue]

New Thomas takes out old thomas

It's that time of year

 

[Nick]

Hiwula is so so sloppy in possession. Chaplin already getting dragged into midfield to make up for Doyle being anchored to our D

Noticed that, then when he looks up for hiwula he is on his own with their defence.

 

[Nick]

What on earth was that pass from Willis?

 

[Johhny Blue]

Noticed that, then when he looks up for hiwula he is on his own with their defence.

Oxymoron alert.....

 

[jordan210]

Who’s idea was it to put the camera on a roof that can’t se half the pitch

 

[Nick]

Hiwula shoots way wide on his left foot.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Noticed that, then when he looks up for hiwula he is on his own with their defence.

He's had Chaplin 6 yards away 3 times and failed to find him

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Bayliss WTF.

 

[Nick]

Their left back is giving us a bit of trouble.

Their team look massive compared to ours.

 

[covcity4life]

Chaplin seems like he is a level below everyone else on pitch in terms of attributes(speed control passing). But we all know he can score so it's about getting ball to him in those situations

 

[Nick]

Pointless going long from goal kicks, even if they do stay on the pitch.

 

[Gibbo]

Their left back is giving us a bit of trouble.

Their team look massive compared to ours.

I thought that when we played Luton.....

 

[Johhny Blue]

The other games are both 0-1. Let's make I all three

 

[Nick]

Shipley is getting bullied by their right back

Awful cross from sterling then.

 

[Nick]

We are struggling with the basics, simple passes and controlling the simple passes.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Their left back is giving us a bit of trouble.

Their team look massive compared to ours.

The bigger they are......................................

 

[Nick]

Their players are 2 armed pushing ours in the back at every chance as soon as the ball goes.

Novak just did it to Hyam.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

We're playing like a bunch of stoners.

 

[jordan210]

At least Clive has a 50/50 chance of calling George Thomas or Luke Thomas the right name. Sadly he is getting it wrong each time

 

[Nick]

We are trying to play it out from the back, we get a bit of pressure and just give it away in our half.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Struggling so far. They’re not much better though.

 

[Nick]

We are miles away from the team we looked the past 3 games

 

[jordan210]

We appear to be playing hit and hope at the moment

 

[Gibbo]

We are miles away from the team we looked the past 3 games

selective memory, we were rubbish against Southend in the first half and once we had scored that goal, went back into a shell

 

[covcity4life]

Brilliant goal saving tackle perhaps from mason

 

[Esoterica]

We are trying to play it out from the back, we get a bit of pressure and just give it away in our half.

Same issues as always when Doyle is in there. Badly missing the easy pass and composure that Kelly always offers when we regain possession and Doyle doesn't win the ball off Scunthorpe, having to wait til they make a mistake to pick up the scraps. Then too many long balls or panicked clearances which results int he ball coming straight back and we can never properly clear our lines.

Should have played JCH today as soon as Doyle was picked.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Massively missing Kelly. They’re walking through the middle.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Doyle and Shipley both been awful, both too slow and poor in possession

 

[Paxman II]

doyles distribution so far is poor at best

 

[Paxman II]

missing kelly today

 

[Nick]

Thomas is getting 2 or 3 players on him every time.

 

[pusbccfc]

Bayliss doesn't want it.

 

[Nick]

Bayliss is getting bullied as well, it's a bit like Walsall where he lost his head.
