How are we playing please?
Quietly positive.

Movement going forwards and organisation defending.

Whisper it quietly but we mave have had a game plan other than rolling our sleeves up and checking we'd put our boots on the right feet.

Where else are a team of right backs going to put their boots ?

We’re getting a bit sloppy in midfield and giving the ball away too much

Bjarnesson has been very good so far.

If Abraham could weight a pass, we might be 3 up...

Jack has to do more. He has to be more decisive and take more shots

Still for me too much down the flanks. Gets a bit predictable and we are wasting a lot of possession.

A bit negligent of Smith to deprive the defence of its 'real life training'. Bruce, to his great credit, would always schedule that in.
