Tough game for Sakala today I feel, I hope he can snatch a goal today and get himself off the mark

[Rousseau 9,373]

There we go: Sakala picking it up wide and running at defenders, creating problems. 

[Rousseau 9,373]

HT 1-0. 

 

Strong start, but then we eased off too much, I'd say. 

 

To be fair, we were actually very good at that last season: almost conserving energy; there's no point in expending a lot of effort when we're not under any pressure. 

 

We need to get that second (and third) goal, though. 

[CammyF 6,784]

Decent enough 1st half, been in control, some good play and a goal ahead. More of same on 2nd half.

Complete control, but the one area we’ve lack for a wee while is carving out clear chances for our striker. Given the overwhelming possession we’ve not actually created enough. Might just be our sharpness right enough.

Hagi mentioned in an interview this morning that he wanted to add goals to his good assist numbers. 

 

Good start. 

[Uilleam 5,429]

I'm almost looking for a Livvi equaliser to galvanise our lot.

 

[Rousseau 9,373]

Well won by Wright, who cuts it back well, but the subsequent play was poor. 

[CammyF 6,784]

Crowd very quiet.... missing the UBs 

[Rousseau 9,373]

Great first touch from Kent, who's free just outside the box, but his shot is tame.
