Up until today we've left our full-backs one-on-one with their wingers and that's cost us so many goals. I notice that when their wingers have the ball now, we double up on them. Much better organisation from Jacko.
Cautiously optimistic after that. Hopefully the fitness holds up. COYR.
It’s making me laugh the fitness thing, if a professional footballer wants to run hard for 90mins I’m pretty sure they can, let’s score 1st then worry about fitness.

And we’re doing it with a formation in which the weakness is fewer players out wide - shows the motivation is there and JJ has looked at how we manage that weakness tactically.
Nice to see the Matthews we saw in the championship again, I'd forgotten what he looked like.
His role in the formation means he can focus on defending, less need for him to add something going forward. He’s not directly up against wingers on his own either.
50' Stockley plays in Washington who tries to turn his man, but the attack fizzles out.
It's been a bright start to the half from the Londoners.

Carl Tiler set the wooden spoon standard, truly gruesome to watch!
I'm sure Johnson will change things, can Jacko react?
