Hmm didn’t think it was that bad. Certainly no Leeds or Ipswich. They scored a screamer out of nothing. We will win this. 

Exactly. We've been a bit slow and predicatable at times yet still caused them problems. If we can just up the tempo a notch we can easily turn this around.

It seems that for whatever reason, LJ and the players feel extra pressure playing at home and this causes the striking difference between home and away form.

If this is the case, then how will they cope with the pressure of the play offs - unlikely though it seems we will make it?

Excepting LJ to change it up at half-time. Clearly the wrong formation.  

How many times has a comment along those lines been posted at half time of home games this season?

Madness in management is making the same decision but expecting a different result the next time.

It happens quite often that a keeper is rooted when it takes a deflection. I’d assume it was going the other side before it deflected so he got caught in two minds. 

If it took a deflection I don't think it was much of one. I don't want it to be O'Leary's fault, but at this point I think it is. 

Would have to watch it again though.

Totally different formation today than usual....

Another frustrating first half home performance. Lucky not to be 2-0 down after they hit the post. 

Concerns are that we are still slow in possession with a tendency to over-play. Pack is often coming too deep to receive the ball. We seem to be vulnerable when they run with the ball through the middle. 

Positives? Diedhiou has led the line well. He should have scored with the header. We’ve had a few moments where we’ve looked like we could break through only to be hampered by poor decision making or a bad final ball.

Get Eliasson on -  at least he will run at them and put in a decent cross. Taylor is invariably useless when he starts a game. No idea how he still gets a chance after all the times he has failed to impress.

In fairness to LJ , who else is there ? 

Semenyo needs to come on later but isn’t ready for a full 90 minutes at this level I would have thought.

According to LJ, Taylors an Idol?.....Maybe he meant Idle?
