This is where pace in behind would help us..
Don’t lump on

Huge shift in how we’re playing post red card.
Literally camping in and around our own box inviting them on to us.
No outlet up front, as when we do get ball are just lumping it to Pressley who has no support and is isolated.
Hancock has worried me with the basics at times. Roberts seems confident owning his box but his kicking/distribution has been poor and invited pressure straight back.
Need to do something different in second half or just asking for this to score as it is.

Flint, Pressley & Jellis extremely impressive. Flint using experience and calming down the team when needed and leading strongly
I can understand Sadler trying to get to half time in the lead. Not sure what else he could have done under the circumstances
Comley really should be in the Josh Gordon, lost cause category

It started well, but that red card… The next 45 minutes could be tough. They’re probing harder and harder.
Need to get someone within 10 yrds of elvis. He’s gonna be spent after 60 mins
Definitely looking to go more direct this season but that means a ten man scenario is very hard l. A ten man scenario for 70 will be really tough.
Rico and Hancock look tentative. Like the look of the front two and keeper.
Hopefully we can manage Flint and Priest this season. We don’t need two of that ilk but the big experienced leader is a must to n this very young back five . 25 games in each would be nice.
What a free kick.
Let’s hang on.

I did wince when I saw Comley starting. I’m sure I saw a post about him being an unsung hero the other day.Not sure about that one.

Him being a hero explains the superman dive at least.
He’s been a level above in my eyes.I don’t think I’ve seen him head a ball away that’s gone to them? We did that a lot last season and it cost us probably more than it should have.

Was looking like a decent game before the sending off. Ironic that Conley talked about being an experienced head in his interview on Friday.
Defensively we’ve looked solid, which given it’s a practically new line up is a positive. We look chronically short in midfield if this is the starting three though.

Need a plan B. Hoofing it up to Pressley with no runners is just giving them possession. Going to be a long second half

Never rated Comley I think he’s a just outside the playoff place Conference team player personally.

He doesn’t coach a Plan B

Their keepers starting position is very high.
I’m looking at a Flint from the halfway line second.

Gonna do well to get anything out of this if we keep inviting the pressure like we have been.
Feel sorry for Elvis and Stuttle. Elvis has won absolutely everything and theres jusy nobody to win the knock on for. Stuttle was just starting to become a menace and wouldnt of surprised me if he’d have gotten rewarded for it before the half was out.
Comley ffs …

If we are going to lose anyone I’d rather it’s Comley.
In that sense, he’s taken one for the team there.
Didn’t think it was possible to be more direct than last season but it clearly is. Hang on lads
Yes, by the look of it. But I don’t think the ref had yet made a decision about Weir’s tackle when Comley pulled him down.
