Second Half

Post by Longsider » Fri Aug 12, 2022 10:18 pm

I really enjoyed it. It oozed drive and determination from a young new group of players. We will be fine this season , with some clinical football that will rip into most teams in this league.

Agreed. Brownhill will get double figures if he plays in the 2nd half position.

Lots of pasding without much on the end of it. Needs to improve dramatically. I think it will.

We were better second half and the right subs. Still don’t think we have scored if we’d played for another hour.

Really promising signs in the second half. Created some decent openings without some key players and with a lad who just joined us yesterday.

It's just possible we were far better second half because Watford did a "Burnley" and stood off us rather too much to keep what they had. (Maybe) As others have said, we're way too lightweight for the physicality of this level and the writing was on the wall last week tbf. Having said that we could and possibly should have got something out of the game in the last 10 minutes, but overall we were outplayed, out muscled and out thougt unfortunately.

We were better second half but without being clinical. We are crying out though for a quality striker, one that can bring in players around him. I’m hopeful VK will be working on that.

Like the look of Vitinho. Very positive when he came on, could be a bargain buy.

Jack Cork was the main difference.

It was either Jack Cork's presence or Tom Cleverley's absence.

The width of the crossbar away from going home with a point, which over the 90 we thoroughly merited.

Lack of cutting edge again is a worry though, and something which needs sorting ASAP.

Twine coming into that side should make us a more clinical attacking threat, plus of course a striker who knows where the net is.
