Lichaj  is going to get sent off here.

I think with Ireland it's partly the lack of quality around him. There was a time in the first half where gabby should have made a decisive run and just did neither one option nor t'other

That's true, but nstead of doing the smart thing and keeping posession, Ireland just sort of....gave up and let them take the ball off him.

It's still about the wings for MON isn't it.

The problem is, Ireland is in the position we need someone to really provide the assists/ goals in this formation. As such, if he is not on it we struggle to create.

Replacing him would be close to the top of my wishlist. Not quite on top, but close.

I hope we don't start sitting back and inviting them on to us.

[Jimbo]

I now expect to concede fairly soon.

Thought that when he was booked for erm... not kicking the ball away!

[Yossarian]

Blimey this is scrappy

[ozzjim]

Need to weather this for 15 minutes. MON teams tire on 65...

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking hell we haven't come out of the dressing room here.

[Summers]

How often, under MON, did we see terrible first halves and then in the second we came out firing thanks to 15 minutes of his man management?

Now we're seeing it happen against us.

It's funny, 'cos it's true.

[ozzjim]

How many times have we done well first half and come out like Lambert has told us to get down the pub for the first 20 of the second half!

[Mortimer's Bear]

we need to get on the ball and take the sting out of this.
