Our biggest problem is we have looked ponderous and lacking any guile on the occasions we do get forward. Other than Inoussa no one up top has tried to make space or create opportunities and without keeping the saints honest they have attacked at will

Josh Key is a turnstile

The whole team is weak, slow witted, static, negative and error prone today. It’s really disappointing.

 

[jacabertawe]

As much as I like AS as a bloke, he must be on a very narrow rope ATM.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Absolutely nothing positive to take from that first half except that somehow we are still level.

 

[tardylum]

We have had some 45 minutes this season that I would describe as - underwhelming, dull, unambitious or cagey. They're inevitable to happen.

This is the first that I would describe as outright terrible.

Can not see us being as bad in the 2nd and probably will not have such a bad 45 all season.

3-0 would not flatter them

That was a bit meh, lucky not to be going in, a few down. Vigs saving our blushes on a number of occasions. Better second half please, TIA.

The owners will be disgusted with that. One or two more like this and he's gone. They won't stand for shit like this

 

[CurtessECarr]

Worst first half this season. If we come out unchanged I've had it.

Agree and we've had some poor ones.

 

[Swans Jack]

The only positive you can possible take on this game is, if we come out and score its gonna unsettle the home fans. They seemed rocked with not having already scored. Let's hope we change something up.

 

[BendJack]

I'll just assume the whole team is still, mentally at least, still on international duty...

 

[tardylum]

Because we have depth in midfield from the bench, you need to stick Galbraith at RB in the second half. Even though I do not like it as a strategy long term and think it would be a waste. We should have signed someone to compete with Key full time.

Sheehan won't be gone in a few more matches. Yes if it continued like this for weeks and months, but not a couple.

This is a pathetic performance. There is no will to win the ball just keep dropping off.
No out ball no teamwork.
We should be seeing some steady improvement by now. In fact (imo) we are steadily getting worse
Simple passes from so called professional footballers going astray.
We don’t follow runners
I could go on but reality we are incapable of doing the basics of football

Just watching highlights now. Key looks clueless and lost. He is the the weakest part of our set up. Though I wouldn't want to move Galbraith it has to be done. Get Yalcouye on too.

We will be a different team now 2nd half, you watch
