First half. Worst half of the season. Poor tactics and woeful defending allowed walsall 2 goals from nothing.
Dreadful first half, nothing came together.
Amos is not the answer, for all the people on here clamouring for him to start.
Walsall had two shots in the opening half, and scored both of them.
Inniss is awful.
Thomson should of come back in unless her wasn't 100%
Brown got it spectacularly wrong.
We got away with it in the last 30 minutes.
Walsall were terrible.
We was poor in the first half, I don't see where you're going with this? Maybe Ranger had a couple of chances but we didn't create much else. We've been plying 4-4-2 all season then all of a sudden Brown changes 4-2-3-1 - didn't understand that personally.I agree with at least 5 of your 7 points but still don't understand how Ranger missing two sitters before Walsall scored from their only two chances (one after Ted kicked the straight to their winger) shows Brown getting it spectacularly wrong?
Sadly for Amos, he wasn't able to dictate the game or have a huge impact, but I think that will come for him in time. I think there's definitely a very good power in there with a great future.
Totally agree with this, we had the best of the first half and simply failed to take our opportunities. They didn't have any chances other than the two they scored and we had plenty of our own. Sure, we had to change the system to get more bodies up front second half but I don't think the original setup failed.Always amazes me how goals seem to rewrite the story. We were definitely poor against an equally poor Walsall but we carved them up beautifully on 2-3 occasions just as they did to us. If Ranger had put away the chances (as for me he really should have done), we'd have been 2-0 up and cruising before they even troubled us.
From what I saw, there was nothing wrong with the formation first half today. We just didn't take our chances before openong the door for Walsall to get into a game they were nowhere near. We (Ranger) might not have taken he chances but we surely created them.
