    As the games gone on feels very much like a McCall side we all know. Pretty passing but little in terms of cutting edge. We need more up top to make it happen than Novak and Guthrie.

    The second half has been very poor.

    McCall will hopefully be having a chat with their gaffer after the game and offering us up to take a couple of their young lads on loan. Some talented kids on display for their lot.

    You're only as good as your forwards. And ours are sh*t.

    And second half there's been a lot more turning round and playing it backwards. Only Cooke wants to drive forward it seems.

    They're determined to keep trying to pass out and it's working for them. We're passing then get scared and then pass back for a hoof.

    But to be fair second half all they've basically had is long kicks from the back. Most forwards would have struggled to look good.

    Guthrie's had a couple of headers he may have done better with. Doesn't look like a natural header though aside from flick ons. His short range passing/lay offs look decent though.

    They offer no movement, the ball doesn't stick, no pace behind. Novak especially poor.

    More quality and pace up front, desperately needed. Out wide too.

    We are being hugely out played by 18 year olds here. The huge difference being pace.

    Our forwards are seasoned, experienced pros. Even allowing for a lack of pace, they're creating no issues for their young centre backs, they're not protecting the ball when it does come forward. Poor stuff.

    We've been really poor 2nd half...

    Tbf the kids have been excellent. They've looked far better than the so called first team.

    Clarke but no idea where he’s been asked to play? Central midfield. Shows our lack of options in there
