Woohoo! We survived the first half. Things could totally change in the second half. Let's see.

Mince n Tatties

Terrible fare,we need to really up it second half.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most...

Well, gotta give Betts some props here, as much as he's been under fire on this board so far.  Could have been 2 nil, 3 nil if not for a couple of very good saves.  FFC sloppy in their back.

Last 10-15 mins of first half were much better offensively.  FFC still looks unsure of themselves with possession, slow and difficult to make decisions/plays.  And Mitro on a yellow. 

I'll happily take a draw at this point, but in their back third they look very shaky indeed.

This crap is 100% on Parker. No tactical preparation at all it seems as we get worse every week.

How can you have Bryan going up so hard with only 3 defenders? That's beyond stupid. By having Cav and Knock so tied up with defensive duties he makes us weaker upfront.

This is just ridiculous. We need Reid out and Sess in to give us balance.

Stats are ugly

Sure are, 77% possession no shots/no shots on target.  Pretty bad.  Stoke has 1 nil lead, 7 shots/4 on target

Looks like nobody is getting that early rest... we'll deal with the next game on Monday.

The three at the back gamble is not working, Mawson and Ream look uncomfortable and are making mistakes.
We are lucky not to be three goals down. Changes needed for second half.

I like the idea of a back 3. And we played that way the last game, I think... or we changed to that formation and it seemed sturdy. Different players maybe.

Cavaleiro can't defend. He's a lot like Cairney, only good moving forward.

Poor first half. I'm not sure if it's the system. Too slow to move the ball at the back and Stoke are putting us under pressure when we're on the ball. Would cause us problems whatever the system, but no wide outlets from the back causing early passes forward that they are picking off. Mitro looks pissed off today.

True. They pressed Joe Bryan hard. And they were watching for Reams passes to the midfield and would press the midfielders Ream was looking for.

3 at the back probably can only work for us when our opponent starts to tire....

Fingers crossed for a much better 2nd half.  Overall, rather poor show 1st half.

COYW!!!


Lyle from Hangeland

Stoke had a great chance. But I think they're play acting.


WindyCity

Wow, nearly another Stoke goal just one minute in to 2nd half.  C'mon, get with it boys!!
