Lee, Jones, Sarcevic and Doyle all playing well. Other attacking men are not showing yet.

Jackson needs to settle...
If we'd signed Messi and Ronaldo an hour before kick off, would you play them against Cheltenham?
No, they wouldn't be registered :wink:

They trained yesterday and it wasn’t a criticism

They’ve obviously been here a little longer than that seeing as names were out yesterday as having signed. But yes it’s early days for both. Neither convincing though in early glimpses.

Oh you lucky bastard
In a world that has decided
That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

FFS can you stop the mardy whinging for 5 minutes and give them a few games to settle in :roll:

Couple of times they seem to have forgotten we have Doyler lurking. As BWFCi says, they don't look solid

Sarcevic really on it today and playing well. As is Doyle. Need to hit the channels as there is joy down there.

Let off for Thomason then. Sarce is on it today which is good to see. Isgrove looks up for it as well

Interesting that the visitors didn't use the long throw from that opportunity 40yds from our goal

What you really mean is they don't fit into the Sam Allardyce 50/50 first to the 2nd ball formation so benefit of the doubt doesn't stand.

I'd like the central midfielders to show for the ball a bit more

When Jackson looks forward he’s got a good pass. I like him.

65% possession in the first half-hour. Evatt mildly obsessed with finishing the stronger so it would help if we can keep a clean sheet till then

Where on earth am I not giving them benefit of the doubt. Unconvincing in early glimpses is doing exactly that. Jackson looks better on the ball than he does off it.

But we will see over time. Need to build around Doyle and Sarcevic and get them on the ball as much as possible. That’s where our quality is.
