    Very poor alright. Even taking the physical aspect out of it with them being in pre-season, their technical ability on the ball looks levels below a shels side that are currently only the fifth best in the country. I think shels will put a few past them on the bigger pitch next week

    Terrible standard in the last half hour. Shels are a very uncreative team and Linfield are technically poor.

    Agreed.

    Shels are the better side by a distance. Maybe I'm being harsh, but that feels like a poor result for them. Linfield we're knackered in the second half, and Shels just weren't able to take real advantage of it.

    I still think they'll go through, but Linfield will be happy enough to be heading back up the road with that result.

    I'm aware that I have made a few negative posts in succession, so here is a positive one - Sean Boyd makes the most of everything he has. Did so well for the goal.

    What am I missing? Watching the superior physical strength of Shels tonight, compared to Linfield, reminded me of how Dundalk sides looked against better European opposition. Pre season or not, Linfield should be stronger on the ball. Even Dickie looks like he has some substance and bulk to him. Shels were great bar in the final third for a lot of proper build up play. That second goal would have been nice.

    Grown men in the shels end wearing Shels-Linfield half and half scarves

    To be fair to Shels, I think they had more chances then people are making out, it actually could have been 3/4 on another evening. They hit the post and the keeper made a wonder save in the first 10 mins.

    Boyd nearly finished off would would have been savage goal at the front post after a class first touch and arrowed cross from Wilson.

    Shels are the better team and if they show up next week they should go through.

    I know Linfield are pre-season but that has to be one of the most limited Linfield sides I can remember seeing.

    They lost Cooper to Coleraine at the end of the season so they seem to not have the same spending power or pull they’ve had in the past.

    If Shels start with Boyd next week they’ll finish off the job with another win.

    No question Shels left goal or two on the table tonight, I hope it doesn't bite us this time next week but if you have watched us all season the final third was typical of us all a bit two dimensional at times while not being particularly good on set pieces either. Two and half weeks ago with the turmoil of Duff's departure I would have taken for us to be unbeaten in the next four games winning 2 drawing 2 under O'Brien including winning this 1st leg 1-0

    The game felt reminiscent of our Conference League home game against St. Joseph's a year ago where we were considerably the better side until tailing off towards the end only taking a goal advantage into the 2nd leg. Linfield looked about the same standard as St. Joseph's most of their players technically limited while also looking exactly like a side in pre-season missing half a yard of pace, I expect Linfield to be sharper next week but for Shels we don't have to worry about 30 degree humid heat like Gibraltar last year and the larger Windsor Park pitch may suit us
