Fulton got himself stuck between two players there and once Dembele was past him there was always trouble.

Fultons a fackin cart horse

Absolutely, he's a dreadful player.

Cullen been no existent so far today

Wood was in no man's land. Fvcking terrible defending.

 

[K23]

Absolutely, he's a dreadful player.

Picking him ahead of Patino is absolutely nuts, especially the way Patino has played in his last 2 games

 

[bakajack]

Only explanation I can think of is Arsenal asking us to limit his game time with the Juventus links.
Definitely shouldn't be starting ahead of Patino or Allen on this performance.

A fair whack of the selection and tactics is a load of turd. I hope he’s a quick learner.

Not sure how they didn't score there.

Rubbish first half but I guess if you come from non League it's probably quite impressive

 

[bakajack]

Probably fortunate to go in 1-1 with the chances given away at the back.
Always expected an aggressive press though from a Mowbray team.

Paterson and Fulton need to do more though Fulton did get a bit more involved towards the end of the half.

Parker has been superb, a very promising youngster to develop and absolutely no way we should be looking to bring in a right winger who would shunt him down the pecking order. Need to get him the ball a little faster when he is isolated against his full back but some of the cross field pings to him have been delightful.

Can see a bit of a lack of confidence in Humphries and Rushworth to playing out from the back this way, at this stage it seems that that confidence will have an equal chance of growing or crumbling.

Sounds like I didnt miss much first half, any positives?

 

[bakajack]

Watching the highlights Wood would have been given pelters if he went to engage and left the man free in the middle for an easy cut back just as much as holding his position and trusting in Rushworth and Fulton to deal with Dembele at the near post.

I feel that Humphries would be better in the middle and Wood on the left but thats just me.

 

[CurtessECarr]

Loving the early negativity.
We are allegedly changing styles back so I wasn't expecting a lot.
Let's see if he shifts things around in the 2nd half.
