Why is Tav at the left hand post instead of covering the right back position?

[HG5 11,112]

That was actually a good tackIe by Windass there!

[Moody Blue Legend 61,463]

  His touch is howlin man.

He has actually shown hes quite good on the ball tonight.. people are getting on his back but he has been good. 

He has trouble controlling a football,  which is quite important if you are a footballer.

[siddiqi_drinker 14,635]

windass and holt really poor

[IpswichGer 3,773]

Shite first half but we are winning. Hopefully Pedro gives them a boot at HT.

[Jam_piece 633]

This isnt an excuse for being pish, but the language barrier appears to be killing us. Each defender has absolutely no idea what the other is doing. theres either 4 of them leaving a ball for each other or 4 going for it at the same time. its embarrassing. Get oot the fucking road and I'll clear it. 

[STEPPS BOY 73,901]

Our defence is a riot.

[gersandy 594]

Pena has the touch of an elephant!

Looks a number 10 to me,when he gets close to Morelos he looks a better player

Yep I think we need to get him the ball in space in front of the goal. Pretty hard though in Scotland when teams defend so deep.

Hope Butcher goes for a shite at half time and his spleen falls out

[gazza27 15,283]

My 10 year old boy has got a better touch than Pena

[Amac9 2,060]

Pena looks horrific. 

No way we're keeping a clean sheet here and Morelos needs support.

Saying what I see mate. His control of the ball has been terrible. He just doesn't have it.

[cushynumber 25,178]

I'll say it now. Pena is fundamental to us having a good season.

Although you know the script with the 2nd half.....

God knows what he tells them at HT!

[BlueThunder 8,453]

Pena frustrating there again right at the end. Can't get away from one of their players and falls over.

But he produces moments that are excellent. I honestly think his passing is very good at times but at other times it looks like he has never run in his life or passed a ball. Odd. Especially as he clearly knows how to finish.

[bluchoo 846]

The whole middle to front seems built to accomadate Pena...who is clearly well off the pace

[SIRB_72 4,000]

It's not been great but at least we are winning. Great reactions from Pena for the goal. The defence gives me the fear though, I feel we'll need another if we want to win this.

[Andy 69]

He went back to the Pena when all know with his last pass but his chest control in the build up to his goal was class.

[northern bear 2,881]

Pretty shite first half but good finish from Pena. 

Does he dip is hair in a chip fat fryer before he plays? Probably what weighs him down when he runs. 

[steven33jackie 1,920]

We are winning, but to many passengers in the first 45. Windlass, Holt, John, Morelos all at walking pace. Need to wake up and start playing.

They’ve been together long enough to know about 4 simple phrases that will do the job.

Although, I suppose Welsh is a bit of a stretch!
