We've been ok when we've got it down but our inability to deal with the long ball is embarrassing.

Surely it's not difficult for someone to stand in front of Oliver and someone behind to stop him jumping. Making it look like Micheal Jordan is playing upfront for them.

Best we can hope for is extra time and that will kill them after being 2 up.
Kill most of us as well

That was bloody awful. We look so weak at the back getting beaten up by basic hoofball. We either need to set a very high line and Maxted needs to be on his toes or we sit very deep to attack the ball as in rains in. At the moment we're doing neither and continually getting caught underneath it.

Escaped a bullet that half. We should be 5 or 6 down!!
Mother of all half time talks and a fundamental tactical switch required by Matty.

Really? Richardson has failed everytime to beat his man and get the ball in. The others have been just a **** poor.
Nicky and Randell have put in some quality crosses

So soon we forget a sublime finish in the semi, in the end Bowman hasn't covered himself with glory, but the darned defense and midfield have been non-existent, if you were giving marks out of ten, how many even reach a five, can't tackle, can't head, can't pass, can't retain possession,
