Not a bad half. A few incredibly nervous moments, but we created a few good chances. Still there for both teams to take.

Must push up a bit...if anyone had been on the shoulder of the last defender just before half time there they might have been clean through.

Need to run with the ball more. Rather than just pass, stand still, pass, stand still, pass it back to keeper, pass, stand still, obnoxious lob, loose possession.

Great first 15, okay second 15, a big worry for the third 15.

Paston is a big worry.

But a gusty performance, ya got to take 0-0 at half time.

Killen has been pretty sh*t. I actually thought Lochie's been decent up the left, minus that one touch. Paston has been covered hopefully he can pick it up in the second half or nervous times ahead. Absolutely sh*tting myself near the end.

COME ON YOU ALL WHITES!

Hopefully half time will allow us to regain our composure. When we're on form we aren't looking out of place at all, but when we panic it's going to pieces.

I wonder if there is just too much pressure on them.

Would be nice to see a bit more from Vicelich and Lochhead. Vicelich is playing a bit of an anonymous role and Lochhead isn't faring well even under minimal pressure with his touch deserting him. They have figured out Leo well forcing him to turn back a lot. Elliott and Smith having strong games.

Grumpy old bastard alert

Stat attack. We have run a kilometre further than them. And our average speed is 2kmh faster than theirs. And this will surprise most. Elliot has run the fastest today, going at 28.35kmh and Nelsen is second on 27kmh.

Killen has been a little quiet, although he has held ball up just outside box well at time.

Sub Paston I think... he's a liability at the moment.

Ried/Smith/Nelsen are playing well

Elliot is monumental

Lochy is dodgy.

Change Keeper

Sub Wood on For Killen at 60 minutes

Average first half tbh. Piss poor passing and first touches have let us down.

Three for me, and two for them.

We have the breeze in this half. 7.4mps. 6 degrees only at the ground apparently. Quite cold.

Excuse me, was I the only one who saw Paston punch a dynamite free kick over the bar to keep the scores level?!? Stop this irrational belief that a goalkeeper must never make any mistakes or they're scum.

well done...for the moment!

you started very well... in the first 30 minutes you have the full control of the match and 3-4 very good occasion to score... in the last 15 you lowered and slovakia took field...

you must reorganize your midfield.

your goalkeeper looks a little bit too apprehensive.

some extremely poor passes and not under pressure - must be nerves

they think they have a real chance and are tightening up a bit

As I said. I love Pasty and there isn't much between he and Moss but they wouldn't make Aus top 15. We need some realistic expectations.
