Weird game

[eteb]

Embarrassed in first half

Should have scored six or seven in second

We'll be ok..

Not trying to be a negative ninny as I generally like to look on the bright side, but that first half WAS the game, the 2nd half was mainly what is known in american football as 'garbage time'. Although even so, I'd love to think it was more evidence that we need to stop PICKING GRIMES AND F*CKING FULTON TOGETHER...*breathe...*

We gave them far too much respect forts half

Better team the second

The confidence and momentum gained from that 2nd half transformation will be massive.

And against a team of Prem players, LW will be chuffed with the collective effort to turn it around so emphatically. He will now have a clear understanding of our holes and pegs, just at the right time for this window.

You'd think so. We are desperate for pace. We broke the lines numerous times today but didn't have the pace to exploit it

Hopefully he’ll stop putting square pegs in those round holes.

The injury to Parker really hurt us in this respect. I genuinely hope his layoff is not a long one

We looked far better as a back 4… we’ll cause most teams problems this season if we play like we did in the 2nd half (or was that just Saints taking their foot completely off the gas? - probably a bit of both)

We took the game to them 2nd half, and RM struggled to respond. His frustration was clear and obvious in his presser.
Patino has to start ahead of Fulton.
Allen is perfect impact sub - to either take the sting or inject some belief and go-fwd.
Talented squad when all fit, with what looks like a talented, enthusiastic, pragmatic manager. Looking good.

The first half was almost as bad as the Bristol City bumming.
The style of play and lack of attacking intent over the last few months has killed the atmosphere down there.

Someone also needs to have a word with the players about their body language because it’s shocking. They looked beaten after the first few minutes.

Clesrly missed the second half then. In balance, should have got a draw today. Some absolute sitters missed

I totally agree with your original post. Embarrassing in the first half and should have scored 4 or 5 in the second half.
I was at the game and didn’t miss the second half, my point about the body language isn’t just about our first 45mins. Heads visibly drop when things aren’t going our way.

The two previous managers did the same thing. What do they see that we don’t?

Some of these tactics are bordering on bizarre.

That’s down to the captain on the pitch, to rally the troops. Too cajole. Out captain can’t do either.
