real_bristol Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Probably a fair result considering our first half performance. They looked so much better on the ball but did not really look like scoring a 2nd. Second half was mostly all us and truth be told we should have killed the game off. Seems to be commonplace lately certainly with the Millwall game. Great to see Semenyo pick up some momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 4-3-3 helped us stretch the play get weimann into the game , as we were so narrow 1st half and just no cohesion at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Well that 2nd half display has upset few who could not wait to berate NP Although according to the bedwetters Semenyo only scored due to the keeper diving out the way, but fail to compliment the good pressure and build up and AS jumping, beating his man with a downward header. Looked more likely to win in the end, also having now seen multiple angles replays very unlucky to to have had at least 1 penalty. Could do without a replay and injuries are massive concern, but atleast keeps the boo boys quiet 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
