Why not bring on Dembele and go like for like? Stansfield wide takes our best player out the game.

Weird sub.

Good half, better side. Should be winning.

Dembele must not be fit enough for 45 plus.

Hopefully see him for Hogan early 2nd half.

Because Dembele isn’t fit yet and won’t come on at all unless we’re losing

And that's why he understandably gets pelters. Offers absolutely nothing other than goals to the team, so when he's not scoring he's just a passenger and 3 goals in the whole of 2023 is a dreadful return.

I do feel sorry for Hogan at times, he just doesn't suit this system at all. 5 touches he's had this half.

To be fair whatever system we play he doesn’t touch the ball. What system do you suggest where he gets involved more?

Traditional 4-4-2 where he feeds off a big man.
I actually think he’s done alright, worked the back line and even linked the play on the few occasions he’s had the ball.
It is noticeable we look to go wide to Anderson, Miyoshi or Stansfield as soon as Bacuna or Bielik or anyone else has the ball, we rarely go centrally to him where he’s occupying the centre halves.

Maybe the plan was for 20 mins or so. Could be winning, not sure about should. Stansfield had been sensational. Bacons has played well. Miyoshi a bit anonymous and frail so far.

When this team finally clicks we're gonna be a force.

We just need a bit of swagger, arrogance.

It's like we're a little too hyper. We just need some confidence. Magic thing confidence in football. Drives me mad when I see our own fans draining any possibility of it by singling out players.

Stansfiled can manipulate the ball to set himself up in a way I haven't seen since Forssel

Great shout that, its been bugging me why he reminds me of Forssell. Couldn't put my finger on it but its exactly this.

Think we've done OK again, but this league is going to chew us up and spit us out if we keep failing to capitalise on all our good work.

Probably only got 20-30mins in his legs and doesnt want to risk him seizing up and the injury reoccuring

Agreed. We need to find a consistent final ball, and fast.

Said this a few times across the summer and last time we played them. He’s a right handful and he’d be great for us. His press on Long is what is giving them a chance to win the ball in our half.

Out of his depth.
Not really involved and if a chance fell his way I would not be confident in him taking it.

Does that mean he shouldn’t take a penalty if such an event occurs….
Just a perfect day. Drink sangria in the park And then later, when it gets dark...We go home

Seem a bit light in central midfiekd. Personally like to see Bieliek be more in that position than a defensive barrier for the centre halves.

Disappointing final third stuff again.

Scrappy 1-0….. Juke maybe?

Highly bloody entertaining half of football.
