We're creating a lot of quality chances. Should be 2-0 up! VERY happy with this football, a better finishing touch and thiss could be a cricket score.

Interesting how we seem to be dominating the midfield - which we have failed to do ever! Remove finkler and lia and we have a midfield that works together, has a bit of pace and can pass.

We gotta make sure our wide defenders keep on top of Castro he is going to cause some problems.

Seriously how bad is he!

The only thing he's done thus far is get booked.

Ironically it's Tratt and Parkhouse we rely on.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

I had hoped that ARod would take this opportunity to show he was our best option as a DM replacement for Lia - clearly I was misguided.

Been saying it for two seasons, what does he do! Tratt is signing of the season and Parkhouse looking good when played in his actual position

He has made two or three important challenges and tracked back effectively, plus we have far quicker transition. Forget three woeful passes and look at the overall picture!!

Water is wet.

Tratt is more dangerous than Kosta despite earning a tenth of the money.

Why dont we shoot from outside the freaking box - everyone else does it and scores against us

Welp that was a thunderbolt to end the half, unfortunately we weren't cynical enough this half and they punished us. Glory had a couple of half-chances but no real goal-scoring opportunities.

suspect that it is a Merrick tactic, wanted the shots to be from inside the box, clearly Buckingacre want it to continue.

First thought Moss could have done better. Seemed to move past the line of the shot

Hate the obsession refs have with waiting for the keeper to take the goal kick before blowing for half-time.
