I didn’t even notice Long was on bench

LOL commentators

Agree Seedorf needs to not come back out. Biggest threat from Aberdeen looks to be Hedges. Not sure if we have it in us to come from behind.

It’s not a bad performance but it’s the score that counts.

I think the commentators have overly high expectations of what Polworth can do with free kicks

Seedorf like Bambi on ice so far.

To put things in perspective, if we took that profit we don’t even have enough to pay Mo Salah’s wages for 2 weeks.

Agree. BFS was saying about WBA that all he is asking is for each player (hence position) to improve a little. If everyone can improve a little then the team will improve a lot. I have total confidence that Campbell will come good again. He has the talent, he has the attitude and he has the strength to get through a rough patch. I think we judge him by his standards and on our expectations of him. He is no worse than many of the others but certainly is not as good as we know he can be. But for sure, he never hides, so merits our support and encouragement till he gets back to the player we know he really is. COYW.

Was O’Hara out injured or suspended?

I thought our substitutions were much better today. Seemed like under Robinson once we started subbing we would lapse into total disorganization. Today we kept our shape and momentum in defending and continued to look like a team.

Part of the problem is we struggle to do anything with the ball when we get it although we were doing ok in that respect for the first half hour.

I’ll take that !!

Unfortunately when we get the ball we can’t do anything with it

Shite. But it was coming

Good. Not Jordan White

Polworth back to not passing to our players.

I think we need another goal before we get to 70 mins.

Decent half

Yaasssss

Do we play 5 at the back with Gallagher and O’Hara and Mugabi either side of him in the middle?

Unfortunately lethargic and uninspired is us on a good day

Yes. Of the Era where 7 was outside right and 11 was outside left and they would sling balls into the box for centre forward 9 who would push his granny out of the way to get to ball and steer it goalward. Pretty sad that I’m old enough now to where there are multiple old fashions to consider.

I’ve not been impressed by White very much. Perhaps he would be a much better asset if we were playing him more like an old fashioned center forward and hitting cross balls into him inside the box. However, we don’t play like that and so I’m not sure why we bought him as he doesn’t fit well into our mode of play and so bringing him on as a sub always weakens us. He just doesn’t chase and harass as the first line of defense and doesn’t seem able to hold up the ball and bring others into play. He’s not the only problem and as mentioned, to be fair, parts of his issue may be how we use him.

By the looks of it best we can hope for is 1-1 not doing much going forward

Yes, we have got a bit scrappy
