Jesus that was agricultural from Sigmund. May have been a freekick from another referee.

Know I know why we are always outnumbered in the midfield. We always have 2 and sometimes 3 players at the back spare.

Sigmund should have had a yellow for that tackle.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Players track back to a wall formation on the 18 you reckon Leggy?

Sigmund's a liability at the moment. Really struggling. Seems glued to the ground and half a yard off the pace in recent games. In trouble here if we don't score first in second half.

Thus far only really Sigmund and Fenton who aren't performing. Sigmund looks lost at sea and Fenton is calling his own number too often.

Anyone that thinks Paston is done should reconsider.

 Can't really say that Fenton is doing any thing wrong


As I have always been a fan of Siggy he seems to be half a yard of the pace

He hasnt actually had a lot to do today though. If that possession stat was the other way around you'd might be singing a different tune

I'm just glad that Siggy was there to make some sort of tackle. A close call for a penalty is better than being a goal down.

Unfortunately even though we've had more shots WSW look more likely to eventually open us up. If Haliti scores the TV is going through the window.

You are right and I probably should explain myself. Its not that he is playing badly, its that he is consistently taking wrong options. Have a nosey at how often he runs away from his support and isolates himself, have a look how often he runs into space with the ball at feet and that space was a team mates line outside of him (taken because he never passed the ball to the team mate that was in a better position) how often has he run with it rather than passed it. Just have a look is all that I am saying.

Respect his chutzpah and giving it a crack but he has to bring his team mates into it more because when he does have the ball, the attack breaks down. Its similar to what Ifill does in calling his own number as well when he should give it up. If we are to play this total football lark, then make the attack/ball do the work with in the natural confines of team.

I think Lochhead has had a decent game thus far. Got up and down the flank and played ball to feet rather than the default loopy cross.

He will learn that with age. And he is better then what we have on the bench

You should see some of the crap that passes for centre backs in the A League at the moment. A slightly off-song Siggy is still better than most.

Jesus Topor-stanley is a big bastard. Makes Stein look tiny.

Sorry was talking about Fenton. I should have clarified.

Our movement off the ball seems to be a vast improvement. They are looking like scoring soon though. They are getting enough shots.

We are trying to play football but we are making some unforced errors. Sanchez' there was a classic case.
