    Although he's brilliant in flashes, Anderson still doesn't look ready to me.
    Interesting that he and Asiimwe's paths had converged but have seemed to split again. I wonder if he's getting more game time due to not having the numbers and quality in midfield, whereas Asiimwe has 2 other full backs to contend with
    Asiimwe has a far higher ceiling than Watson

    Grr Watson caught offside near the Brum dugout.
    Sounded like a wrong call according to the comms

    For some reason Jones isn't playing centre back anymore, and is instead man marking May

    Looks like the ball had gone out near the dugouts, Brum get the ball forward, it's passed to may but Edun nicks it off his toes just outside the area.

    Of our six strikers I'd say they're 5 and 6 in the rankings really

    Oh for goodness sake, that was a sloppy bit of play by us near our own box that nearly got us in trouble.

    Since they scored we've not had a sniff.

    They look fitter and sharper than us
  • Since they scored we've not had a sniff. 
    Apart from the long range efforts from Small and Campbell which have both been from similar positions to where the scorer was successful

    Gillesphey sends a long diagonal ball forward bit it goes stright to their keeper.

    We've had zero impetus this half. 

    Ramsay on for Watson

    We got told every pre-season that the players look really good in training and are very fit yet they look out of it by the second or third game in

  • Route one from left back straight through to their keeper..... Hmmm, not very effective. Maybe not convinced the midfield are doing anything.

    Jones with a lovely ball to Small in 10 yards of space and he manages to step on the ball and lose it

    The good thing is that I think even when we are crap under Nathan , we will stay in games

    Mannion pumps it forward, Kanu does well to draw the foul on the far edge of the centre circle. Watson's off, Ramsey's on while we wait for the free kick.

    It’s the cup. I don’t think NJ cares if we progress or not 

    more minutes into players is the most important thing

    Small has been generally poor tonight. Few good moments but otherwise loose touches and half a yard too slow to react.

    Getting excited.....

    Last 15 mins.

    1-0 down

    Cup tie.

    Should be going all out to get at least a goal back. Should be shots on goal & balls pumped into the box.


  • No real goal threat. One attempt.
