Probably done enough to score but still feels a bit like something is missing.

Bods snapshot a bit unlucky but didn’t create that many clear chances.

A threatening half ends with our right centre-back inside the oppo area trying to curl the ball left-footed into the top corner. That's our 12th effort but only 3 on target.

Dominant performance, not quite the scoreline.

Reading score two in injury time to level at Cheltenham... less decisively but more threateningly, Posh halve the deficit with their first effort on target, while Derby also splice the arrears at Oxford so it's all to play for

Does the ref think Sheehan is here for the wrestling? Fleetwood are all over him, including off the ball.

Played all right. V tough conditions mean you're unlikely to get the perfect opportunity. Got to make one of these half chances count.

They've offered nothing, might be able to get out of their half more with the wind now. Would be a very good day to turn this into 3 points.

Definitely the better side. Guess we’ll find out how much was wind assisted now - suspect we were banking on scoring in the first half and they will be happy keeping us out. Can’t fault the performance other than the usual final third stuff.

Quite a frustrating day to be playing the bottom of the league.

As for them offering nothing, its to be expected as they're bottom of the league and struggling. Hopefully an early goal in the second half opens this match up and makes it a tad easier on us.

Didn't get the impression the wind was helping. IIRC I count four balls that were pinged too far across the field of play.

Unless the wind has changed direction you’d imagine the second half will be harder for us.

I disagree, it'll hold up in the wind and we can run with it. Open to contention though.

Lovely goal from Dion there

Was about to say we could do with one bouncing in off someone. And it did…

Superb from Dion to turn his man.

Fleetwood have already wafted one corner straight out. They're not as big on the cross-field passes tho.

As I say in my experience as a coach playing with a strong wind behind you isn't helpful. Going into one isn't easy either but you can pass "under" it by keeping it on the deck - pitch doesn't look too bad.

Yep, we'll take 'em as they come, as long as they go in.

Good thing now is that we don't have to panic and can pull them about with intent but without forcing it. They'll tire and you imagine our subs are better. Just keep it savvy at the back.
