Frustrating half. They're there for the taking and we're back to not being decisive enough. Delap before too long, I feel.

Thought that was evenly-matched. Both teams are playing high up the pitch committing lots of players forward and we’re moving the ball quicker than we did for most of the season so it’s leading to lots of counter-attacking opportunities for both teams. Does Rosenior tell them to sit back more second half and retain possession so we’re not as open on the counter-attack or does he go for it? We need to win all our remaining games and hope West Brom and Norwich drop points so may as well go for it now.
I'm thinking yeh. This feels like exactly the kind of game we would have won with our slower safer style. I think if Slater stops committing forward as much and he brings on Delap things might work better.
