Reasonable summary.
We probably should have won. Moore is still short of his best.
Looked a mid table lower mid table battle.
Think we will see both sides between 10th and 16th come the end of season with us likely to be the higher.

This was something that struck me today and a lot of people around me. In the second half, I watched Moore a lot as he was closer and the same thing struck me as did when he came on against Brighton - he just doesn't look happy. His body language seems off. But the other thing that strung me was that players don't seem to be communicating (I really made an effort to look and listen for this today) and was struck by how non-vocal they are. Flint seems to be the most vocal player.
I know all this sounds negative but I and everyone around me couldn't be more vocal and encouraging to the players during the game. I'll keep going to the final whistle but on here it's different - I've paid my money, done my bit, come home tired and this is a great place to discuss, reflect and I really enjoy getting all perspectives.
But yes, the lack of urgency (someone else used the word passion) resonated with me too. That's something I haven't seen for quite a while.

Maybe Moore is dissatisfied with the average service he is getting from our midfield, after playing with better players in the Euros?
Our substitutions were completely ineffective. We had two strikers on the pitch, but we couldn't get balls into the box with Bagan and Colwill playing down the left wing and Nelson and Giles playing down the right wing. We should have put Giles on the left, Colwill on the right, and kept Sang on the pitch instead of Nelson.
