So Urgarkovic still the best midfielder since sliced bread? 
Should be finding something extra for us here. Or I’d have Lewis/Pennington all day.

Another one that should've been scored. Great work from Waine. He's making chances as well as scoring these days.

Pisses me off a guy slips over and gets 3 weeks, when three players jump into a player like that, one drawing blood with the arm, and well, it’s just an accident.

I am getting sadly resigned to seeing our fullbacks deliver poor quality crosses. What good is Payne out wide if he's putting over such rubbish? It's not good enough.

He is just not having a good game today, much like Sooton.

I mean this season, not just today. Payne's crossing has been noticeably poor since round one. And it's not as though he isn't capable of excellent quality ball because we've seen he is. Really feels like he's coasting.

Not convinced Sasse’s contact was with the studs. And an elbow in the head can be much more dangerous than a clip in the shin pads. 
I mean obviously if it was Rory, Rory…

I can't see any other positives in this match other than Kraev is finally on the board.

 The second half looked better and it seems to me that Lewis, Sutton and Payne were the weak spots today.

Can’t wait for the club to say how great it is to be at home again, how wonderful the centre of excellence is, how we have new sponsors, how we are trying to get families into the ground… focus on winning games of footbal ffs 
you know having good facilities and a strong commercial basis are part of focusing on winning right? These are foundations.

Nata and Weier were good for the Jets. We should be beating them. We simply don’t know our game yet. The two sixes can’t play together obviously.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Kraev in the front two at some point. We need to get him in the action and he knows how to shimmy and beat the keeper with power. 

Poor from Uffie not to know Mauragis couldn’t play. But you feel he may have started ahead of Sutton for a good reason. 

Feel Urgarkovic and Lewis should have sorted things out pre-season or Pennington should be starting. Or Kraev drops deeper and more centrally! 

That was crap. Very unhappy given that allegedly we have the players we want but they’re not at all ready. 

Also wouldn’t mind Paulsen starting the next game. Sail has great feet, but he makes one of those saves and we’re in that game.

I’d start Kraev up front in place of Zawada and have Old or van Hattum out wide. Not sure about Sasse, but we’ll see. 
Urgarkovic or Lewis is a tough one. Lewis was poor in defense and setting the tempo. But the first goal McGarry literally dribbles all around  Urgarkovic.

Edit: oh yeh Ball ahead of Sasse. Maybe Kosta and Waine up front and Kraev wide 10? Hmmm

Another slow start into the season... This is getting really lame. I do think there is more to come from this team but we won't set the league on fire. Do we have a defense coach? If so, he's not doing his job. This laziness in the first half is really hard to take, no grit or determination.

On the positive, Sasse is coming back from suspension and will want to prove a point, and Ball will improve the side as well.

I wonder if Uffie will switch formations at some point I feel the 4-2-2-2 might be getting a bit stale. The only other formation he's played is the 5atb which we could do to stabilise our defense and with Sutton and Elliot as wingbacks probs suits them more. Or even try 4-3-3 with Pennington as a 6 and Lewis and Ugarkovic as 8's. A lot to think about heading into the league leaders.

i know Ricki said this on the sky whatever football show the other day, but a 3 at the back isnt a bad idea. I think Payne would do really well in it.
