Typical old school Cup tie. Pitch is ropey, crowd are up for it, they are making it hard with their work rate, we are struggling with rhythm.
We’ve been up for it mentally, just not playing our game with the ball, which tends to happen when Noble doesn’t play.
Hopefully a better second half as they tire. Shame about Fredericks but very predictable with him. He appears to be very fragile, hence why I would have rested him as a period of games with Zab at RB does not fill me with confidence.
Don’t think there’s a huge amount to get disheartened about. We aren’t the first and won’t be the last team to travel to lower league opposition and be under the cosh and out of sorts at the start. As games wear on the higher placed team very often takes a grip and gets stronger.
The key is not to be 3 or 4 down when this happens.

much better if we’d had Gedson and Gabigol in our starting line up.
Fredericks has been plagued with muscular injuries since signing.
Seems to be always in and out with injuries
He’s clueless.
Like it’s all a bit of a surprise.

Hoofing it out of defence just gives them the ball, again.
We don’t seem to recycle it very well.
