Unbelievable tackle from Ben sheaf

 

[Sick Boy]

Sheaf is immense.

 

[mr_monkey]

That tackle from sheaf

 

[Liquid Gold]

If Hamer is going off I'd be tempted to bring Godden on instead of a like for like.

Just feel like they are there for the taking.

Missing Maatsen on the left.

Sheaf having a great one for us.

That is literally the third time I’ve done that in this thread. Need to up my typing game!

 

[cc84cov]

Would you be tempted to take him off at half-time?

Yes but we lose his range of passing and presence...I think he will leave him 65-70 min

 

[Nick]

O'Hare and dabo competing for the lowest pass completion

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

It doesn’t matter who manages these - they’re always a horrible nasty niggly side

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Would possible sub Hamer and bring Godden on and go 2 up front

 

[better days]

Booed off
Music

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Love to hear those boos. Let’s hope that wasn’t our ‘good half’.

Not for me mate that energy in midfield is causing them problems...I think he may go for it late on with 2 up front if it stays like this,we are in control without doing too much.

Solid first half

 

[Bugsy]

Definitely need to go more attacking 2nd half we got this.... PUSB

 

[fatso]

O'Hare and dabo competing for the lowest pass completion

Hyam's got it by a mile.

 

[Marty]

Hamer could walk today, would be tempted to go for 2 up front and get Godden, we're the much better side.

 

[procdoc]

These are shite. Gyo has been immense. Completely dominated their centre halves

 

[Grendel]

Hyam's got it by a mile.

absolutely

 

[Liquid Gold]

Sheaf is not just having a great game he's a great player.

Anybody that still doesn't realise this is basing it on preconceptions

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Comfortable half but not looking particularly dangerous. At what point do we bring Godden on and properly go for the win?

 

[Ian1779]

Allen and Sheaf have been good today, and although he’s not had much to work on Gyokeres looks like the break has refreshed him.

 

[CanadianCCFC]

These early games suck

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Keep it as it is second half, but need some more care in the final third and the chances will come. Not really been troubled at the back because the midfield has things under control.

 

[Esoterica]

Absolutely typical first half under Robins. Kept it tight, worked our nuts off, gave them nothing easy, looked dangerous on the break. Will bring a 2nd striker on as the game opens up to stop them pushing too many bodies forward and will hopefully nick the win.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Would you be tempted to take him off at half-time?

I would take Hamer off and bring Godden on.

 

[skybluegod]

I suspect he'll keep Maatsen out if he carries on like this

I think Maatsen brings far too much balance not to come straight back in. We are a non threat down the left at the moment as it's obvious Dabo is going to cut inside.

In my view I would potentially drop Dabo at this rate.

 

[mark82]

Give it 20 more minutes, if still 0-0 I'd bring Godden on for Allen, and if Hamer still walking a tightrope swap him for Kelly.

 

[better days]

I would take Hamer off and bring Godden on.

I doubt that will happen
We are bossing the midfield so far

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Allen and Sheaf have been good today, and although he’s not had much to work on Gyokeres looks like the break has refreshed him.

Impressed by Sheaf today and I'm usually tough on him.

 

[no_loyalty]

Hyam's got it by a mile.

Aimless long balls most of the time.

 

[greys4life]

The audio should be there.

So i thought but just says not available for purchase yet

 

[Happy_Martian]

Cov have control of the game but you can see Shutd have a goal in them. But we are the one half wonders and we also play through stoppage time. Personally, I just don't think we have the same thrust with one up front. Vik and A.N.Other can spread the defense so midfielders can run into gaps. Vik is being shut down too quickly and COH and Allen have nowhere to run to so they're turning the ball sideways or back.

Taking Hamer off at halftime for another striker would be far more fruitful than risking Gus being sent off and not having the option of bringing on another striker.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

We’ve got to be pleased that in our second season at this level we are going to teams who were in the prem recently and playing with no fear. We’re a decent final ball away from being comfortable here. Great to see, whatever happens from here.

Hamer a worry though, taking him off loses his presence in the midfield. So frustrating for Robins if he has to take him off to stop a sending off.

 

[Frostie]

Excellent first half, completely in control just need a tiny bit more quality on that final ball.
