Cross should have come earlier and been played on the ground.
CBT should still do better.
Takes an extra touch here when the ball should be played.

Agreed

Completely exposed our one dimensional way of playing, if getting it wide and chucking it in the box doesn't work we really have no clue.
NML, CBT, Collins were all poor, Washington looks like he won a competition to be a footballer.
Smith had a good game, as did Sibley and Wildsmith.
Warnes in game management poor as well, too slow to make changes in the second half and even when they did come he didnt do enough. Looked too scared to lose the point to actually go for it.
Its another game in this season thats a missed opportunity, and another game they bored me to tears.

Bringing Hourihane on and trying to gain control in midfield makes sense, but still should have come sooner and you could argue we'd have been better with Thompson.
Washington was poor through the middle and even worse out wide, should have made the switch for Barkhuizen then.

Leave him be, hes doing well and got a great chance of playing in Play Offs.
If we're still League 1 next season then he has a great shout to be involved.

To add to the set pieces, does anyone know how many goals we have scored from our long throws this season?
The success rate seems to be phenomenally poor, verging on pointless.

Another inept performance, I would say one good performance this calendar year away at Exeter, our home form continues to be poor.
Our inability to build pressure and create chances from open play is a real concern, we just invite pressure onto ourselves by continually giving the ball away from poor passing and attempted dribbles.
Line up worried from the start as we set up so defensively, never looked liked creating much.
Cashin had a good game defensively but isnt a left back, I don't know what Wildsmith was thinking but Charlton only get the chance after Bradley puts two aimless balls into midfield.
A lot of people giving credit to Smith, fair enough he was alright but I don't think he adds enough to the midfield, he isnt a great tackler or passer, hes just kind of ok.
For anyone interested in xG, thats out 8th game in a row we've recorded an xG of under 1.

5 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders at home...

Knibbs, Wing and Smith were three I really wanted in the summer. Can't see how Reading would've been able to pay more than us?

Wildsmith and Vickers are a similar level of shot stoppers, but I think Wildsmith is clearly ahead in the air and with the ball at his feet.

I don't think that performance is too far off from for we have been playing for a while, we've just been relying on someone doing something brilliant to drag us through.
NML looks off it, as he did around this time last season which is a worry as he has so often been out difference maker

Thought it was a very similar game to Rovers, turgid first half where neither side showed any real quality and then we improved second and deserved it overall.
Still lacking in overall performance, but we can take comfort in 3pts.
I did miss the goal because I was in Port Vales delightful portaloos, but oh well.
NML, Wilson, Fornah were standouts for me, Collins and especially Hourihane had off days (Seriously Conor, can you beat the first man from a set piece?)
