Daka been terrible in and around the box tonight. Great everywhere else.

 

Tbh Abduls off for me.. the assist was fantastic.. ever since I don't think he's completed a pass has he?, 

 

Should be 4 or 5 -1 to us by now

He hasn’t done a great deal outside of that delightful through ball. 

[Mike Oxlong]

Good movement from Daka but then he fluffs his lines 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Thank god it's half-time..... Enzo will give them afew words...we should be another 2 goals up

[sm1]

Daka's link up play has been brilliant, but in the box he's terrible. Not sure what's got into him

[joeybside]

Majorly wasteful which has bitten us on the arse many times before and is danger of doing so again. 
 

Everything else is well above board. Come on lads

I’d have their Dembele over Fatawu

This may be the worst take I've ever seen in a match thread. And there's some serious competition. 

[Mickyblueeyes]

Some really good stuff played that half. Need to take one some of these chances.

[foxes_rule1978]

Very good half, frustrating we haven’t extended are lead, because we have worked the ball excellently with pace… just that last moment letting us down

So many people on here quick to slag off Daka !

 

he litterally was the reason we scored the 2nd goal winning the ball back on the edge of our box and releasing it to Fatawa.

Amazed how quiet St Andrew’s has been… but maybe that’s just because everyone’s enjoying our majestic play!

Created both our big chances, but his pass completion is poor at just 43%

[Chrysalis]

Now we playing a way I like, keep it up.

 

Hopefully Enzo is ok with it.

Daka’s all round play tonight excellent, linked play so well and great runs. Shame about the missed chance!

I pity those who lack the ability to appreciate this. 

[LVFox]

We've been amazing until we reach their box. Amount of time the final ball has let us down is infuriating. Should be out of sight!

[Jonezy]

I love Daka, but he is making it really hard so far in this game...

 

After a shaky start, we are in complete control and only constant poor decisions and execution by our front three we are only leading by one. But some of our play is gorgeous today.

Some of the best football I've seen us play this season, Mavididi and KDH unplayable

We’ve absolutely wasted several golden opportunities in that half tho.

 

Riccy P looks off the pace again and has done his last few games.

[FoxesWalk]

I’m a fan of Daka but he’s been pretty poor at key moments this half. A long way behind the last 2 games. Thought his showing vs Plymouth was our best #9 performance of the season so far. Needs to up it or be replaced 2nd half. His general play has been decent enough.

Mental game

[Simonb]

Happy to be ahead.. need 1 more to be comfortable 

 

Should be well out of site. Daka needs to be more lethal, and Abdul needs to sharpen up a little.

 

Other than that, going forward it's as good as we've looked all season, come out flying in the second half and we'll batter these.. just don't give the ref any silly decisions to make 

[foxsake]

KDH and Mavididi on fire to tonight🔥

 

Daka reprising his role as the weak link I'm sorry to say.. his confidence looks shot already..

 

Prove me wrong Pat, deliver some bangers in the 2nd half.. show us you're the True Postman by sticking one between the posts, man..

I know it hasn’t been our usual completely controlled and measured performance…

 

…but that was my favourite half we’ve played this season. Loved it.

[Dr The Singh]

Daka needs to stop those shitty back heals and take the pressure himself and shoot.

[WigstonWanderer]

A bit nervous at the back at times, particularly early on, but I enjoyed that, really entertaining fast football.

 

Mavididi more effective than Fatawu today. The only real disappointment is Daka. Who else we got?
