If we don't get our shark together it's gonna be a really long night... We offer nothing in transition

Yus.  And that's why you need shots on goal, you never know which is gonna deflect in. 

We were looking real good leading up to that.

I feel for Waine but I think at this stage of his career he's better suited to be an impact player off the bench. I know we don't have many options but it's like playing with 10 players. He doesn't really get involved going forward and although he runs a lot, he doesn't defend very well

McGing and Laws both playing hospital passes and looking dodgy under no pressure.

How did they find the replay of that but they didn't have the replay where our players protested the lack of free kicks twice at the other end?

I don't get the shoulder to shoulder rules.  That looked like the shoulder to should contact we have been pinged for in previous matches.

The Waine fans have been awfully quiet lately. Much like him on the pitch.

Still up 1 is a good start but shark we will need to bring something to the second half to hold or increase it. 

Newcastle have looked good to score for 44 mins.

Laws and Waine of at halftime please

That was our worse half of football for ages!

We are making nothing happen, all sideways passing no drive forward.

Laws has made some horrible errors and seems to not know how to carry a ball forward. Waine is not dropping in enough to be an option outlet... but that would also require a forward pass, so maybe its a waste of energy.

Very very boring. We are luck to not be 2 - 3 goals down.

Laws has no imagination or even the slightest bit of flair to pass the ball forward. He is so overrated on these forums its not funny.

Waine, Laws and to a lesser extent Lewis haven't performed so far. Piscopo only good in patches. It's a miracle we are leading at HT, especially since we've had like 2 shots (1 on goal) to the Jets' 9...

Looks like it's hot out there so let's make a couple of subs at half time and increase the tempo. I also think a switch in formation or at least in how we play is needed, it's not just individuals who aren't playing well, we are just aimless all over the park. Ball out wide and run at players, that's all we got so far.

I reckon Talay will play for the win/draw and have us park the bus in the 2nd half.

Looking pedistrian in transition and general ball movement. Missing the players who provide drive and energy - the mcgarrys and Devlins. 

oh and what I would love for Fenton not to run forward then pass backwards. every time!!!

Nevertheless, half time lead. Not often have we had them this season and our defence is holding strong. Hope for a big second half.

Can Waine get subbed off? It's almost as if we have been playing with 10 men. He's not really offering anything. He's more of a impact off the bench. Bring on Lokili-ngoy or Hemed.
