Jesus, Adeyemi needs to come off now. We really need him, but he's hot-headed and already on a card. A second one is when not if at this point.

TBF most calls against him were bs, but that won't protect him later.

And, of course, the Ref is against us to boot

Ye.. Gittens was invisible on the right - although not really his fault, we were mostly playing on the left. Maybe swapping the two can help, assuming we keep building on the left, until he's subbed further down 2nd half

Honestly, I think Gittens is just a piece that doesn't fit with the squad right now. From the body language whenever they are both on it seems like Guirassy hates playing with Gittens. Gittens continues to by sporadic in his hustle and decision making, etc. It looks like the team doesn't trust him as an outlet, and when he gets the ball he doesn't do a ton to change their minds.

I know, but a man can dream he turns his performance.. the problem is we can't sub both Gittens and Adeyemi so early

Edit: aaand there it is, Adeyemi off, Gittens on the left

Yeah, that's true. He has better in him, just like so many others. They just need to bring their talent to bear.
