Esteban Ah Noel, you were so close. Maybe it'll work this time.

Incremental steps.

Defence is right. Doyle is in.

Temper expectations :lol:

Has Ryan picked up a knock? Thought he'd had a decent game in the cup match but he's not been in the squad since has he?

So many other LB options.

Poor from Abrefa there. As always far too easy to get crosses into our box.

A decent centre forward is on the end of that cross from Doyle.

We press with too many. Huge gap in behind

Well at least we’ve now managed to survive longer without conceding than either of our two previous visits.

Starting to join the MOM hate. Didn't even try to challenge for that long ball. Little effort to get on Wing's corner, fell over looking for a freekick he'd never get.

Although good defending in the box :roll:

Don’t like this 4-3-3

Midfield too stretched. Forwards too far apart

MoM is deeper than the two wingers

In short, a mess.

Every time the camera cuts to Steven Schumacher he looks like he has just got caught nicking sweets from the corner shop.

First twenty minutes has defeat all over it. Being run ragged.

It would be nice if we could keep the ball at some point.

Sigh, Dorsett gets the ball forward, Savage immediately sprints away from him to the left channel, three defenders comfortably back, so we play a ball in behind into the channel when the defenders have a 10 yard head start.
