Fordy62 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Right. Not the worst half ever despite the score. As I've said, Vyner has been poor. He doesn't seem to get back into position quick enough when they switch the play. It's often leaving their left winger with acres. You can attribute both goals to him, although I'd like O'donnell to do better with the 2nd - but I'll wait to see the replay. Flint had lumped a few aimless balls forward and Kodjia could have done better with a couple of headed chances. The plus side is that Joe Bryan is looking very good and Tomlin, as we've learnt by now, is different class. There's no way we'll get anywhere near him on a permanent deal. Brighton aren't the best but have taken their chances well. It's a little like watching the sort of luck that Cotts had. I've seen enough to be hopeful going into the second half.

BRISTOL86 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Strange game. Not a great deal wrong with our game but ruthlessly punished by a side that really haven't looked like creating an awful lot. Having said that, Brighton's fitness levels look ten times above ours. We've had the lions share of the ball but they've pressed us constantly into making silly errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Getting a bit fed up of BHA just constantly attacking ZV. Feels a bit like schoolyard bullying. Would be kinder (and better for the team) to sub him for Waggy or Little, if fit , at HT. Might hit him hard though so difficult call for LJ. I don't think we had a serious chance that half, despite the possession. Edited February 23, 2016 by robin_unreliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 87 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Brighton have played us really, LJ was expecting a possession game from them and they've gone counter attack. Problem now is the more we push forward the more likely they are to score again. Tough job now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good review Fordy, cheers. Its Vyners home debut. He's no doubt nervous. I heard he has about an hours notice pre MK, not enough time to worry. Tough call whether to keep him on and risk another error, or replace him. Either way his confidence may suffer. Time for LJ to earn his bunse. Have we created any chances? I'd hope we give it a good go 2nd half with nothing to lose. Especially if Brighton think the game is won. An early second half goal for us would change everything. What changes, if any, would you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Agree with @Fordy62 not the worst half, 2 individual mistakes although I'd like to know what Pearce was doing for the first. Vyner has struggled but hasn't looked out of place in my opinion. Being left absolutely no protection from freeman! Early goal for us and it's game on!!

petehinton Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Poor decision by LJ to keep Vyner in the side. Playing him against a MK Dons bereft of any confidence is one thing, but playing him against a solid promotion chasing side is another. Both goals coming from his side and bright targeting him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One seemed to come off his shoulder, the other, arguably a better chance he just seemed to miss, although that might just be my viewing angle. Tomlin also had a fairly tameish free kick tipped over. Vyner currentky getting a Geeing up and cuddle from Flint. If we get a goal back it'll be interesting. Tomlins through balls to JK are quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One poor scoreline (not even a result) and these sort of posts have started again already. 4 wins in 6, a 7 point gap to the drop zone as things stand, and no sign of the bottom three finding the form they would need to overtake us. Get a grip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
