Our set pieces into the opposition's box continue to be a serious problem. We offer nothing, hardly ever find our own player and on the rare occasion when we do we end up with it back down our own throat in seconds.
Some good, some not so good. Defence seems to lack confidence for some reason with none of them comfortable on the ball. Small had an awful first ten but has been mostly good since. Dobbo being Dobbo and CC trying to run midfield. May and DK running channels well. Anderson needs pulling before he gets a red. I'd bring Ladapo on and drop Alfie back into the ten which would help continuity. Wickham to come on for the last twenty when hopefully we'll be in front. COYA
It's weird. Looking at the posts on this match thread sounds like we're lucky to be 1-1. Then you look at the stats (which I know don't tell the whole story) and we've been the better side.

It's not been great. But we're not losing, Alfie scored and Dobson playing well.

We may have had more of the ball and more shots but Carlisle have made better use of it and their efforts at goal have probably been clearer than ours.
If they could shoot straight we'd be deep in the brown stuff today.
Bakinson should have started. When Jones started this good run, he rotated the midfield to keep the energy up, surprised he didn't do so today.
And this really is the sort of game where you do need a bit of quality on the ball, rather than relying on our press, so one of the other loan midfielders on the bench, Watson, Camara or Fiorini might have been a useful option.

Better is a relative term. Both teams are shocking.
Connor Wickham chatting on Charlton TV right now. Don't know how he'll work out on the pitch, but the haircut makes it look as if he's been auditioning for the first Black Adder series.

Lets genuinely be realistic

Watching Italy v Scotland at the same time xx
The team just looked so leggy for much of the half. Not making any changes looks a strange move.
Small head and shoulders above anyone else.
I'll say one thing. Anderson will get sent off if he isn't taken off first. He's going to make another bad tackle soon that will see him depart.
