Brilliant play from Celina to Burns, we really should be one up within 5 mins.
Well 17 mins in and I'm entertained...............

I wish Thompson would get forward more … aches of space on the edge of their box

This is looking good, Town totally dominant but we really need to turn it into a goal.

I thought Thompson and Celina were linking up well, although we’re much stronger down the right.

Some much possession but I’m really wary for the sucker punch ( sorry to be negative ) can just see it happening

They’re giving us a hell of a lot of respect tbh

Tbh I think they’re very happy to let us have the ball … the key area is the penalty area we need to get more clinical in their box …

Very different refereeing tonight, this guy seems to be letting everything go. 👍

I know right..!?! Just full of confidence, Wolfy is a prime example - he looks a different player and not just 'cos of his barnet!

For me they are not making any real challenges on us, not closing us down but more dropping off us. Bet they come at second half … just wish we get a goal then they’d have to come out more … they’re happy with this I’m sure. .

As long as we win I don’t mind lol

What do you three make of Thompson? I think he's OK just one of two loose passes that checks the momentum but he seems to fit in well enough..

Thompson has been much better tonight than he was Saturday, I don't mind him tbh. 12 shots that half and some really good football, Burns and Chaplin both really should have scored so we are doing little wrong, just need that one gilt edged chance

I think he appears more defensive mind than wing back tbh … so I think we lose something down the left going forward . I’d like to see him get to the by line occasionally. Other than that he’s ok as Mike says .


I demand more lol 😂

Really good first half. Pleased to limit them to just a few chances with town dominant, especially after the 5-5 draw they had on Saturday. Happy with a one nil win second half, but I think if we do get an early goal it could be 3 or 4 nil to town.

That’s one of the most one sided first half’s I’ve seen this season, total domination lacking only in that opening goal which we really need. Not a poor Town individual performance anywhere across pitch, but I just wish we wouldn’t pass the ball back to Walton in his six yard box, he only needs a poor touch as we’ve seen a couple of times and from nowhere we could find ourselves one down.

We should win this comfortably but we desperately need that opening goal.

Thompson looks like he’s playing to instruction to me with his primary objective going forward to get the ball to Celina.

I don’t think they’re sitting back Liz, I think we’ve pushing them back through total domination and one way football.

I think it’s time to bring on Aluko for Chaplin.

Would you prefer Penney over Thompson? Just curious.
