I think we're going to lose this game. Second best. Might get a goal but more likely to concede another

The final ball in has been really poor today.

Getting into some really good positions only to be let down by a shite cross.

We might not be able to defend but at least we've got goals in us

Nearly conceded again. Great individual goal Dapo, superb strike. But we're all over the fecking place when they break.

Are we relying too much on off-sides with dodgy officials? Time I.E. had a word...

Half time, 1-1. Just about deserved to be level. Their goal capped a chaotic opening 10 mins, where either side could have scored 2 or 3. Slowed down afterwards - they're ridiculously quick on the counter, not helped by our high line. Sheehan and Doyle struggling to get into it

I like Doyle, but we have to do better than him in this league alone up front. I hope there's a plan in place.

They're playing Black by Pearl Jam at half time. Whoever put that on is my MoM already. Magnificent song.

Defence all over the place today. No one seems to be able to pick up their runners. I love Santos but he's slow and second to every ball today.

We're also very predictable when building from the back. Every single time it's Dixon to Johnston, to John, who looks for a forward pass and ends up turning and playing back. No idea why we don't try to go down the right every now and then

Eesh. We're not dull are we?! I don't envy MJ. Ropey af at the back. A threat going forward. Oosh. Keegan-esque

Game on a knife edge. Worldie from Dapo.Ooxford realizes that our threat is down the left and have loaded up over there, leavi acres of space down the right where Jones has been unable to make use of. Isgrove and Sheehan missing in action. Sarc having a great game. He is everywhere and driving us foward. Central Defense looking very Dogie with Santos struggling to keep Taylor in check. We miss Baka badly. No one up front to hold up the ball. Doyle out of it. Have no idea why the linesman did not flag for their goal. Hope we can finish strong.

Stay calm guys, IE will hair dryer them in the break and they’ll come out a different team in the second half. A couple more goals, a 3-1 win and 3 more points. COYWM.

Be tempted with brockbank on at right back. Mr consistency Jones is a bit jekyl and Hyde!

I could do Doyle's job today, just run around achieving nothing.
