[Sarge]

Oh come on ref

 

[Swaby39]

Has @RyanioBirdio had an influence?

Don’t think he looks much beyond the trainers.

 

[bashamwonderland]

This is very direct football. Not bad so far though.

 

[Swaby39]

Have to ask what’s happened to us defensively last few weeks. Definitely lost a bit of control back there.

 

[Sarge]

Macguane need to contribute more than he has so far

 

[BigCrompy]

This is very direct football. Not bad so far though.

Seems to be a study in “how high can we get the ball up the pitch before finding the most inventive way to get it back to the keeper (probably losing it on the way)”.

 

[Wandering Yellow]

This is poor in my opinion.

 

[bromsgroveox]

Stevens has been terrible what was he doing with that throw in!? Harris doesn’t look to run in behind so the defenders are never threatened or turned.

 

[Jolteon]

Stevens really poor, given the ball away several times.

 

[greatunclekip]

Not looking good.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

This is looking like two poor sides low in confidence.

Stevens and McEachran both having poor games.

 

[Nadi-]

Right side looks hesitant

 

[Canterburyexile]

We look like s**t.

 

[bashamwonderland]

Seems to be a study in “how high can we get the ball up the pitch before finding the most inventive way to get it back to the keeper (probably losing it on the way”.

The pretty stuff we used to do seems to be gone. It seems a shame really, considering how good we were at it. This is Wycombe-esque!

Makes you worry about Beadle actually. Brighton won't see him developing if this is the style he's part of.

 

[stokeu]

Right side looks hesitant

Back to the Manor days when it mattered….

 

[Jolteon]

McEachran every single time he gets the ball turns his back on their goal and passes backwards

 

[isibuko]

Far, far too many backwards passes. No threat so far.

 

[NorthernExile]

We look clueless. No shape in forward positions.

 

[Tinman]

Reading have had the clearer chances so far, worrying against a very poor team. Again nothing being created up front from us, would have started with Goodhram personally over Mills.

 

[bert]

Far, far too many backwards passes. No threat so far.

We just look lost when we get to their 18 yard line. Within seconds, we're back at the halfway line.
