    Fair play to Greece, those long balls in the second half were really scary. Realistically we should have converted some of those chances we had in the first half but luckily we got away with it, as our play today just wasn’t good enough.

    Hopefully we somehow find a centre forward underneath the floorboards somewhere before the Euros

      I’d like to see Brobbey get another go. He came in when our ball progression was essentially gone with Hartman and wieffer off the pitch and he still gave the lay off for the Dumfries pen and should have gotten another penalty himself. He wasn’t stellar but he was definitely better than Weghorst. Or play malen centrally, he was ass on the left.
