Put Carducci in for the second half

Pantemis. Once we are likely to win, it's U23 minutes.

I got it to work now just in time for the goal... 

[Acid-Tone]

I really like what Bassong and Brym have shown in their debuts so far!

[Olympique_de_Marseille]

Crunching somewhat miss-timed tackled by Fraser? I thought he would get a yellow.

Why do we refuse to shoot?!

This nicely sums up what I have been shouting at my TV.

Brym’s been trying to do alittle too much.

[SkuseisLoose]

I've made that kind of cross before LMAO

It seems like we play down to our opposition.  Can't bitch too much tho - we are comfortably in control.  

[Winnipeg Fury]

Didic has been flawless.  Looks like a future Jason DeVos.

Time for Borges.

[Corazon]

Only caught the last 25 minutes of the half but I like what I've seen from Bassong for sure.

Seems he has no left foot.

Crowd shot looks like an FC Edmonton game...

I had the same question. All alone 9 or 10 yards from the goal with just the keeper to beat......and we either pass or run into a bad angle and then pass.

A little sloppy from what I saw ... but if we get out with a win, we just forget it and move on ...

Bingo.  But we will have to pick things up at both ends if we want to get points from Iceland.

• Another positive half but obviously should have scored more. Lots of people scared to shoot and looking for an extra pass instead of taking on the shot.
• Tesho has been unlucky.
• Barbados are atrocious
• Brym looks good and again a little different to our other striking options. Clearly has good technique, a footballing brain to boot. Impressed. 
• The pitch was sprayed with oil. 
• Bassong looks tidy.
• Get one early in the second and bring on the debuts. Piette and Oso should really go off at the half.

Obvious no wailing trumpet, so can't be York.

Great ball movement, passes ,one-twos, even in their penalty box area, but like a couple of you have mentioned, seems like their is a reluctance to shoot/ go at goal!!!!... Otherwise, for technically this being pretty much our B/Olympic squad, I am fairly pleased all in all!!!!... But, they bloody gotta take that hesitation out of their head & bloody go for goal when in front of goal... Enough with the spins, back passes or any other fancy stuff that might be up their heads, lmfao!!!

Very pleased with Bassong (now I see why Herdman was so high on him and was one of his biggest targets, plus not to mention he fills an area of major need for us, hopefully he starts getting regular pro minutes after this camp) & Brym's got game too, but as a young player as he is, is prone to a young player's mistakes/tendencies (as someone else pointed out, trying to do too much, getting fancy, like at times you gotta keep it simple)

Now on to the 2nd half!!!!! 😎

Time for a striker.  Put Borges on the field.

[Shway]

I under estimated Barbados. I didn't think we would need to play some of our best guys. - Fraser has been big boss, Defense has been flawless, Brym started strong started to leading to wrong decisions.

 

[toontownman]

Bit off topic but is Bassong ours now? Saw someone talking about him using his one time switch to play for us in this?
