Why didn't Dougie just shoot?!
He was looking the other way.

Brighton singing "dirty northern bastards".How dare they.We're Mercians.

This is why you should never wear tight underwear when ordering paint.

Watkins is dire, everything good ends when he gets the ball.

Watkins has worked hard with little support.

We’re playing around the back when we don’t have the defenders or midfielders to do it.

Onana showing again he’s hopeless when we dominate possession. Sancho only bright spot!

Watkins better not come back out after HT. It ain’t gonna happen for him today.

I think you will be disappointed.

Awful.
So
Many players totally ineffective and onana and Luiz are far too negative.
Of all the players we are missing, tielemans is the biggest loss

Approx 250 mins without scoring a league goal at VP.

Why do we never see the stat for how much time the ball is in play? I reckon half of that first half may have had no football played in it. Stop-start as fuck.

Their big lads are happy to reduce it to duels, we need to find a bit of guile to win this.

Watkins has been universally poor in that half.

If we're being honest, apart from the odd bright spark, he's been pretty shit all season.

Well their game plan was to wind us up and make it niggly and bitty. And so far they’ve succeeded.  Ref needs to get a stronger grip.  At least we have game changers on the bench this time

Sancho is one of our best players at the moment.

They’ll sit back and be cynical until 70 minutes.  Then start having a go.  Then Michael Robinson will pop up with a goal.
