That look on AJT's face when the camera panned to the away end...:D

 

It looks a proper match this, The Big Greek is a man mountain so far. Ironically the conditions suit stoke esq tactics TP's famous for.

I think this is the worst half of football in the entire Pulis reign. It has some stiff competition too. Switching to 5-4-1 for the last ten minutes with Hugill on the left because we can't deal with them is laughable. They've won 1 game in league 2 since November and they've dominated us.

People are going to point to the conditions and the fact that Newport are more up for it due to the occasion. But the sad fact is were also doing this against sheff wed and millwall in the league.

 

West Brom was a blip, we're still going nowhere

Hugill on the left wing is a new low when we have tav and vlp on the bench.

 

To be fair he probably never had the intention of putting Hugill out on the left before the match, its only because friend has been so poor that he's needed to do that and won't have wanted to make a first half sub.

Weirdly it looked like he actually wanted to play more fast paced counter attacking passing football which it is entirely the wrong conditions for. Need VLP & Tav on either side, Hugill & Britt up top and just start doing the same as Newport and pumping the ball into the box.

 

Weirdly this is the kinda game Pulisball should thrive and he hasn't really tried to play it today.

Well that was as bad a performance as you could get in the first half other than the fact it is somehow still 0-0

 

Got to get some width as not working in midfield and up front is shocking

 

Can’t be as bad second half can it!!

That was a truly woeful half of football. A league 2 team is better than us!!

 

Points that are obvious.

 

1. even in a 2, it's still hopeless punting balls up to Britt. It's not his game.

 

2. There is no use in playing attack minded midfielders if the ball is simply whizzing over their heads.

 

3. We need a rb.

 

4. We need a lb.

 

5. Hugill isn't very good.

 

Let's hope for a peterborough-like 2nd half
