    We're much better out of possession tonight. Szmodics doing great work there. Nearly another one for the Ogbene reel. Much better performance so far, even taking the diff in the opposition (comapred to England) into account.

    I thought that was a good 1st half for a new manager... and this time it does look like a Hallgrimsson team. From shape to him constantly giving instructions from the sideline you can see this isnt an O'Shea set up.

    We've kept things very tight, but we are keeping the ball well and not just aimlessly giving it away like we did at the weekend. Not creating a huge amount but enough that we possibly should have scored, especially with that Browne poor effort from edge of the box. Ogbene was unlucky, that was a fantastic strike.

    Overall I would say its not amazing so far, but its a beginning... and as Joey the Lips Fagan once said " I believe in beginnings"
    Its really not that complicated!!!

And to be fair to Heimir it only took him one game to figure out he was working with a pair of clueless spoofers and needed to take control much sooner than he initially anticipated.
    Fairly damning on O'Shea. As I said before, he had to have presented his proposal for England to Halgrimsson who clearly went along with it. The fact he presented that with conviction must be giving him concerns about O'Shea.

    Regarding Brady, you can get away with certain players at international level as we know. Wales always seem to have a few passengers. I was about to say "limited players" but Brady isn't limited, I just think he's getting old and isn't a natural left back and this is international level.

    There are options on the bench there now. Ferguson, McAteer, Parrott in particular. Scales and Doherty if we want to mix up a full back. O'Brien and Scales for a centre half. In the previous formation it felt like we had no options from the bench bar changing a centre half. There is a lot we can change up here if we need to.

    I actually do think Molumby can be a good player for us going forward if he has a good partner. Beside Cullen we could get a much better midfield. He is loving the options out wide.

    Well that brings back memories...

    Outside the box, no-one closing, not entirely sure if Kelleher saw it late or what happened. Houghton suggested he might have thought it was going wide, and then said he couldn't do anything about it, neither of which seems true.

    Why the f*** do you back off, 20 yards out

    Did it all day Saturday.. now this..

    Even if they run with it and don't shoot, you've to engage them inside the box and risk giving away a penalty

    So ****ed off looking at that

    Brady lucky to be on the pitch after the elbow right after the restart.

    We're doing okay here. Ogbene is such a joy to watch.

    Shouldn't have typed that we were doing okay. Nathan Collins taken to town there. What a clinical finish.

    As unsurprising as it is depressing.

    Early days yet for HH, but this feels very Kenny-esque. Decent start, couldn't keep up the pace, picked off in the second half, lost our way, no real cutting edge, ultimately deservedly beaten.

    Two games in and already it's third (and a relegation play-off) at best.

    I don’t want to hear anything more about transfer values either.

    Nothing wrong with Collins there. Doherty is the issue gave up on it jogging back. Collins holds him.uo checks him back if doherty made half an effort he would have been back when the Greek checked back.

    Encouraging overall. Molumby was a loss when he went off.
