Cash should have dived then.

McGinn subbed.

McGinn off…concussion, Nakamba on

[Toronto Villa]

Watching us this season in the league has been tough work

Not sure what game you’re watching.

Watching us struggle to really break them down, playing with 5 defenders at home and with brilliant talent on the bench who could be adding that real creativity to get us in front.

We're the better team without really creating anything so far (other than the Mings header). I'm not sure the 3rd centre half is adding anything and I think we look like we could do with a creative player in there.

Mcginn going off should have been a good time to change the shape but Smith has gone very negative so nakamba is coming on, that doesn't feel like the right call on the balance of the game so far.

Concussion?!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

SJM has been running the show until now. Massive loss. Shame his natural replacement, Sanson isn't available.

mcginn coming off

[devilla]

McGinn off, Nakamba on so we now have a back 5 and 2 defensive midfielders. Great.

Yes, when Mings went close from a corner McGinn got a bang on the head

Yup. We're crying out for a winger as neither Targett or Cash are wing backs. I'd be looking to replace Targett at half time with Young.

[Bad English]

Solid half but we don't have a creative player who can make things happen. Well we do but they are on the bench.

[Sexual Ealing]

Cash and Targett are plenty good enough as attacking full-backs. Not quite, but nearly, good enough as attacking wing-backs.

I’ve just had to read up on concussion subs - apparently they’re additional to the normal 3, but we grant Everton an additional normal sub.

Or that’s what I read?
