 We just need to relax a little. We're away in Europe. The home team are always going to have a dominant spell. Soak up a bit of pressure then him em with a sucer punch.

I said in first half Carlos needs to improve his distribution.
It's not his strong point at the best of times.
Same with Cash one dimensional in defenive third only using right foot. And we've seen Kamara get caught in possession before

The game is won anyway but these improvements on their ball play is needed generally especially Carlos and Cash.

I’d (at least) take Watkins off as he’s currently redundant, there will be a chance on the break to boost Duran’s confidence.

Yes giving Duran a few minutes sounds good to me.
