Just had 2 attempts cleared off the line, however do not be fooled this is turgid stuff, only Chery is showing any idea, Faulin and Henry are immobile, Gladin and El Khayti are both Div 1 at best, Washington again isolated and poor ####### is being fed scraps, this team will never compete at top of Div, 6-7 first teamers req.
Sounds like another fairly pedestrian game. What manner of play is JFH coaching? Sounds like the normal slow, plodding, pass, pass, pass, lose ball, no finish style we've had to tolerate the past few seasons. Think we head into the offseason with many more questions than answers, and they don't just involve personnel.

Over to Nas for positive spin.
You asked for it you get it. By the way, if I'm slightly more positive than you, doesn't make you any more right. Don't call it spin to try and belittle the opinion.
Going for the whole team, there isn't much width and with very little connection between the defence and midfield, it's difficult to get the ball forward.
Player by player:
Ingram: very good all game, made some great stops so far and seems composed.
Onuoha, got beaten a few times by skill from Kodjia but overall solid defensively and probably the only forward thinking player in general in our defence.
Hall, good defensively, very quick to get rid of the ball instead of looking up. Young Clint Hill.
Hill, see above
Kpekawa, pacy but still lacks experience and leaves some gaps where they shouldn't be. Good on the ball though.
Faurlin, involved in almost every play, making blocks, interceptions and winning the ball in the air at every given opportunity.
Henry, done well, getting the ball forward but the duo of him and Faurlin won't work in the long run. Need luongo back.
Gladwin, terrible half bar one corner where he took a terrible first touch and then somehow got past 5 players before playing it for the ball to be cleared off the line.
Nasser, fantastic on the ball when running from the edge of the box, can't deliver final balls though.
Chery, getting involved, most likely scorer in this match.
Washington, unlucky early on to not score but miscued his shot and hit a pea roller. Closing down well, but not getting into enough good positions at times. Think he just needs a goal to settle his nerves.

Hardly surprising Tbf when midfield and uptop have hardly played together.
I think el kayati could be quite usefu, even if it's as a squad player. We definitely have work to do in the summer. We are crying out for a pair of decent wingers and someone to drive the midfield.
Is freeman playing for Bristol city Romford. I think he's a player we quite like, how's he looking?
