0-0. Could so easily be 2-2. Keepers on top so far.
We need more control second half.
No injury time at all??
Meh. Standard sloppy first half. Pity Gomez didnāt break his duck. Nunez missed a couple of good chances and Arneās patience with him must be wearing thin. Alisson has made a couple of excellent saves.
Expect normal service to be resumed in the second half, after Arne works his magic. 2-0 to the Tricky Reds.

Second half Pool it will have to be again. Not much to shout about from us, Ali and Virgil have played well. Forwards not involved enough and the midfield hasnāt really been able to lock this game down yet.

Their right back, polls Diaz by the shoulder with both arms and then when Luis just fends him off he falls over rolling around with both hands covering g his face.
Beyond pathetic!
Sometimes I feel like someone should give such a player a real reason to cover his face.
Some idiot got up for the 6:45 kick off, to sit twiddling his thumbs waiting for 7:00 start, fooking idjut

A whole lot of possession but nothing much to show for it. They play a narrow back 4 crowding their own box. Dive down like absolute prats at the slightest touch.
Stretch their defense with the wingbacks and we will exploit the gaps easily.
A bit sluggish, slow and predictable.
No chance! Jaros would save their chances, never mind Kelleher or Ali

The derby obviously took its toll, we look tired and slow.

Blind missed his kick middle of the goal from about 8 yards outā¦chances donāt just come in the form of shots on goal you know 
Thats why I get a bit lost with Trent tucking in to give us numbers in an already condensed midfield, would be better overlapping or underlapping as Robbo did at the end.
Also on that play why did Mo come into the middle alongside Jones when there was no one at the back post where Robbo clipped it

Listening to this on the radio. Stephen Warnock really is the most miserable pundit. Talking as if Nunez is the worst player to ever live.
For all his faults, I am pretty sure heās achieved more than you ever did ya clown.

Yeah, none of their shots would have troubled our keepers. Speculative at best.
Itās Blind. The clue in the name
Got a feeling is was a real piece of luck the derby got called off at the weekendā¦ even though we have had to travel, we have also had an extra 3days rest - very sluggish showing - yet if we had taken at least one of the chancesā¦ a whole different perspective begins to unfold - we need our forwards to improve the ratio between missing and scoring - just brings added burden to our defence
We got this thoughā¦ Girona will be gassed from the 75th minute

I agree. Especially with Blind at the other side. A 2v1 there would force Girona there to commit more support to Blind , opening more space in the middle for our guys to exploit.

@cynicaloldgit, comments?
watched the first half while getting my steps in. welcome change from the noise on the forum. Just a couple of thoughts. I dont like the midfield without macca in it; it just seems to lack balance. Secondly, hands up those who thought Nunez would score when he was played through? Nunez is just not HIM. He is just not good enough in front of goal, its actually more of a surprise when he scores than when he does not.
