How Cook can condone that atrocious first half by making no changes at half time I'll never know. We'll only seriously look like trying to score a goal if we go behind. So boring.

45 minutes to try to keep the season alive with something to play for. We live in hope more than expectation.

I'd be bringing Fleck on (for his passing ability) and give Grigg 20mins is still 0-0

You could take any of them off and he justified. We need Duffy’s directness, ideally with Grigg ready to pounce.

Modern football is quickly becoming boring. Lots of possession for possessions sake, no real attempts on goal. If you don’t shoot you don’t win. Possession means sweet FA if you do nothing with it

Yes, do they realise you get 3 points for win?

When you scream "get in ont floor" after two consecutive headers, that's when you're in trouble! By the way, anyone able to explain why we're playing Naylor on the wing?

Better. The wind is clearly affecting the game.

Its as frustrating as the Italian football throughout the 90s. Teams playing for a 1-0 or not to lose.

There's a cat on my front garden licking its b*ll*cks. That's more entertaining than this.

I don't think I've ever seen an xg of 0 at half time

There's a goal. Run at it, shoot at it...

[Westbars Spireite]

We've got attacking options. I hope we don't leave it to 75 mins+ to use them.

Decent last 5 minutes

The betting line is set +/- 70mins.

Why is there urgency and desire to win?
I can’t believe that Cook has gone out and asked them to go for an hour of the game with a single shot.

Where’s the motivation?

As crazy as it sounds, we COULD yet make the play offs.
Do they realise that?
Do they want to?

[MrTall]

Our first thought when we get the ball should surely be to pass it forward, but we instinctively pass it sideways or backwards.

Feels like we are playing this game under Rugby rules, cant pass forward, only sideways and backwards.

So cool from Boot there!
