Good from sterling, should have done a lot better with the shot though

Chaplin gets pushed over, then handballs it and ref misses both.

 

[covcity4life]

Under the josh

Big save from burge

 

[Paxman II]

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

dont agree with that

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Frantic desperate defending every time they’re in our box now. We’re having chances though.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Because Doyle is so immobile it’s pulling Chaplin deeper again.

A symptom of where he's having to play again - too much defensive work from him. His heat map must be midway in his own half - getting on the ball far too deeply again

 

[Paxman II]

weve had chances and need to take them. improvement needed from Shipley

 

[Esoterica]

Because Doyle is so immobile it’s pulling Chaplin deeper again.

The whole team, not just Chaplin. We just notice him more because he's tiny and supposed to be up front.

The thing with that is when he tries the same tricks. If he loses it in their half in an advanced position its not so bad.

In our half its a lot more dangerous.

Different player when he plays with Doyle same as Chaplin will be told to drop deep to compensate

 

[pusbccfc]

Bayliss and Chaplin are passengers again.

 

[Nick]

Will take going in at half time drawing.

That’s the player he is though. It’s looking increasingly like him and Doyle can’t play in a two.

 

[covcity4life]

Willis playing poor

 

[cc84cov]

JCH for Shipley push Hiwula wide at half time prob more like 85th min tho

 

[jordan210]

Can anyone pass ?

 

[Nick]

Nah, put chaplin wide.

 

[covcity4life]

Might need some half time subs to shake this team up

Is Allasani on bench?

 

[Paxman II]

this ping pong has got to stop. get the ball down

 

[cc84cov]

Nah, put chaplin wide.

Could work play him narrow

Could see him getting smashed early doors and taken out of the game.

Yes

 

[stevefloyd]

Balls just not sticking upfront unlike when they have it..not winning many second balls again either

 

[Limey]

Because Doyle is so immobile it’s pulling Chaplin deeper again.

Not sure the positives out weigh the negative having Doyle play anymore.

 

[Nick]

Doyle free kick to bayliss who tries to turn but a shocking touch, doyle shocking cross and ends up with a counter attack coming at us.

 

[covcity4life]

Nah, put chaplin wide.

He camt do anything but score tho lol

 

[Esoterica]

Good tracking back from Doyle there though.

 

[Nick]

We have no options up front, nothing at all. Just aimlessly punting it up there and hoping for a mistake.

 

[cc84cov]

Balls just not sticking upfront unlike when they have it..not winning many second balls again either

JCH needed to stop it coming back so fast and sticking up there...if he stands up

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Not the greatest, need to push those 10 yards higher up the pitch

 

[stevefloyd]

Well thank god that halfs finished

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

We need to play in behind them and get in on the floor. They’re a massive team who are physical and hoof it.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Not the greatest, need to push those 10 yards higher up the pitch

I just don’t think we can with Doyle.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Chaplin worst player on pitch. Offers nothing. JCH needs to come on at half time for him.
