Rojas needs to play as close to 90 minutes as he can today. Unreal how a single player makes us so much better in that final ⅓. 
He won't last longer than 60, he looks spent

I’ve not really seen much of him before but been mightily impressed by him. I now get why you guys have always hoped he’d return. If we can get 80 mins from him today, we’ll be on our road.

Good on Oluwayemi making the initial penalty save but yeah not a good start.

Hughes' 2nd big mistake leading to a goal in 2 games. Hopefully he can put it behind him and put in a good shift for the rest of the match
 The commentators said the sprinklers were on very late today, so Hughes might have slipped just at the wrong time.


What are you talking about? He didn’t slip at all.  Even if he did, that doesn’t make you throw your left arm out towards the ball ffs.

He’s at 20% of his capabilities currently I’d say too! Dunno if we’ll see 100% this season, but 40% might be enough…

He was clearly fudgeed at the halftime whistle. Holding his knees and sucking in the big ones.

Ifil agreed that they overwatered the pitch and it took a funny bounce. arm is out too wide, but still.

Other than the pen we've been better than them and only improved as the game has gone on, if we play the rest of this how we finished the half we'll win this.

Hughes I think was caught off guard for the pen by Wootton leaving a ball i think he could (and should) have played, but I haven't seen a replay.

Valley FC til I die?

Paulsen would have saved it, bounced 80 metres upfield, then Sakai would have crossed it across the face of goal, and some dude would have back heeled it into his own net through the goalkeeper’s legs.

Ishige has some amazing things in his locker. We just haven’t seen consistency from him yet. At the moment Ishige is running more in one half than Marco’s done in a season. We need them both firing.

Honestly, who does Brattan need to shoot on the field to get a yellow?

Twice now Kosta should have put Marco in for an easy finish. Played the ball 1.5 seconds too late in the first half and messed up the cross just before. Hope that doesn't cost us.
