The Fat Controller reporting from the ground.

Whatever the reason for leaving Danny Sonner out of the 16 for this game, it’s certainly backfired so far, as we’ve failed to get any meaningful possession in midfield and the ball just is not sticking up front.

Bradley has been looking as if this is a step too far for him at the moment and Deeney, in for Demontagnac, has also struggled to make an impact, although he did force the keeper into one great save, tipping the ball onto the post.

Fox, returning to the left wing and taking Hall’s place in the team, has been the pick of the midfield by some distance and scored a superb equaliser out of nothing, lashing the ball home from 25 yards.

The central defenders have been under real pressure in the air and that has led to a lot of uncertainty with Ince as well.

Things need to improve second half, although, with such an attacking bench (all wingers and strikers), that might be difficult.
