codge added 00:22 - Jul 17 What a let down from the last few games,it looked like we were back to our worst in the first half. Thankful that we played a second half the first was awful.Have to give the boys credit to turn it around in the second half,Hojbjerg will not be missed by me and we definitely still need help in defense as there goal we were all sixes and sevens.Stoll we have had a great run but this was one that got away.Coyr. mattthelegend added 07:18 - Jul 17 Well at least Jack gets a break this game, first half all over the place to be expected with the changes but got into it for the last 10 minutes, second half was brilliant to watch, chance after chance now I know how Man City must have felt after last week. KWP was great going forward admittedly against lesser opposition, Vokins had a decent game, Ings isn’t human runs and runs and I thought Adams did well his work rate was excellent maybe needs to gamble in the box more. TimSaint added 13:39 - Jul 17 I said in the preview that we should start with our strongest side and then rest players as needed in the 2nd half. The worst 1st half display I have seen in ages. Why make so many changes in what is already our achilles heel, our defence. Vest and Bed switched off or were asleep for the goal and the whole team's 1st half performance was pedestrian at best. City had put 5 past them in their previous match, but we were content to pass it around and rarely threaten. 2nd half was much better and we created enough to win it and probably should have done if it wasn't for some good blocks and saves and some bad misses. But still somehow managed to give Brighton chances to win it through errors and ball watching. Vest was unlucky with that 35 yard effort - great save. On another night, Adams could have had a hat trick. Danny Ings really is our King. KilkennySaint added 15:29 - Jul 17 Much better second half, had so many chances to win it. Good to see some of the youngsters getting a start, was really impressed with Vokins, he was a threat up the left and had a great strike on goal. I thought Smallbone had a quite game but i noticed he put in a couple of great crosses into the box. Think Hojbjerg has played his last game for us. janecook added 10:16 - Jul 18 I_would added 20:46 - Jul 19 saintpete01 added 20:18 - Jul 26 We have our own Gurd muller in che Adams Das Bomber He has all the qualities of that great striker We were lucky the game wasn’t dead and burried by half time But a great second half team performance there was only one team in it Great to finish with a win and in our new kit happy days halftimeorange added 20:25 - Jul 26 Thankfully, Sheff Utd ran out of steam and we coasted home but, there were worrying moments with Walker-Peters, McCarthy and, comically Vestergaard being eased off the ball by Billy sharp. Talk about david and Goliath!. Sorry but Jannik is simply too much of a carthorse for the EPL. Danny Ings seemed off the pace at times but, what I really didn't get was that when we were all over them at the end everyone seemed content to pass around in the middle of the park instead of setting Danny up for a golden boot goal. Even Danny spurned a couple of half chances to shoot. What was that all about? A good end to a chaotic season. saintpete01 added 21:02 - Jul 26 allsaint54 added 21:13 - Jul 26 Ralph starts with with Vestergaard to see if he's worth keeping for next season. After 45 min he proved he can't defend & can be outpaced by Billy Sharp who's not exactly quick. Great to see Che score 2 great goals, hopefully this will boost his confidence for next season. Redders put in in one of his best performances but JWP still flatters to deceive.
