Great battling effort today, I personally just thought it was crying out for Gas to come on earlier, as the whole the the first half it kept coming straight back and you felt momentum was building for them. Also wish we'd leave someone up at defensive corners as well, especially with this new 8 second rule. No disgrace in that performance though, did us proud. Still a million miles more entertaining than last year.

Agreed. Top effort but no outlet up top and nothing stuck. Just kept coming back and they dominated possession and play up to their goal.
When Ahadme and Phoenix (and Sweeney and Phillips for that matter) came on it was a different game. We looked really good, with lots of lovely play between Phoenix, Kemp and White mostly.
I know by Huddersfield had stopped playing so take it with a pinch of salt but it would be superb to watch the style of the last 15 minutes all game/all season. Probably would leave us defensively open when the other side isn't just defending a one goal lead though.

They have CB Joe Low, he played for Wycombe last season.
I think it's no coincdence how Wycombe lose him and they're now struggling.

Phoenix is a great impact sub off the bench when they are tiring. He's so hard to stop with the ball at his feet and uses it intelligently. I think Chem think started as he makes us more solid defensively.

Chem was our best player IMO. Going forward and tracking back.

Agree the ball wasn't sticking up top, not sure we had the quality for Gass coming on earlier to be the decider though. Phoenix looked promising.

Pheonix is great and did well, but it was very much a like for like change. We needed someone to bully their cbs.

Agree with all that and I feel that Revs was still far more proactive with the changes than in similar situations last season. Didn't quite come off in the final third today.

We stayed in the game and showed flashes of creativity.
Very happy with the spirit and performance overall.
A few minor gripes around decision-making, our right hand side looking exposed and Roberts (again), but play like that and we'll be fine.
They're a decent outfit. So are we.
Marachall getting done again for holding the ball... sort that out

We were good on the whole, and got significantly better after the substitutions (not least because Roberts simply didn't turn up). Apart from holding the ball too long, Marschall was excellent today.

He did also fumble two crosses. Not saying that negates the good he did, he did some good saves and seems a decent enough keeper. Just if it was Taye who fumbled two ball we'd not hear the last of how bad he is etc from some.
Good to have two good keepers.

The annoying thing about that 8 second rule is he is waiting for the players to get forward. It disadvantages teams who kick long, fine if you play short, you can release straight away but you have to wait for everyone to run 40 yards before you can kick it.
Also, you're fine spending 20 seconds taking a thrown, goal kick, corner or free kick and the ref doesn't hurry you up.
I like the idea but maybe 10 seconds would be better and just annoying it only one minor aspect of time wasting being addressed.
No excuses for keepers though because the ref clearly counts it down with his fingers in the air.

‘Also, you're fine spending 20 seconds taking a thrown, goal kick, corner or free kick and the ref doesn't hurry you up.’
This makes the rule an absolute farce. I like the concept but it needs to be applied to all elements of the game otherwise it’s pointless.

Would like the same 8 second rule to apply for throw-ins, goal kicks and indirect free kicks too. It's actually a good innovation for a change.

He gets done because we bring everyone back and he has zero option of where to distribute it quickly, other than to aimlessly launch it up to no one. Putting one player up stops that.

If we leave a man up top for corners the opposition will bring 2 men back to cover. It's a win win situation but I don't understand why clubs don't do it?

Plus our keeper dropped a catch twice today because the area was so bloody crowded. Overall thought he was very good today in fairness and pulled off some important saves.

Went for a point, looked good for it. Got done and changed it up. Looked ok but not enough quality to nick a point. The classic catch 22. Top 10 attitude/ performance.
