The second half was much like the first. We started off poorly and were lucky not to find ourselves behind but then in the last 20 minutes or so upped our game and were unlucky not to win - snapshot from Keane just wide of the post, Osmajic snatching at a cross when he had time to control it and the block by their keeper late on that denied Potts what would have been nearly a carbon copy of his goal in the first half. Lessons - as I have said many times the Whiteman-Ledson combination is sterile even with McCann unavailable there was an alternative today and it was just bad management on RL's part to fail to opt for it, the combination of Frokjaer and and Millar was sheer class at times but unfortunately was so way out wide and almost back in our own half instead of where it could have been deadly in and around their penalty area. Otherwise as others have already said Brady played well when he came on but arguably that still just makes a useful sub option while Osmajic played poorly but he is obviously short of match sharpness and will play better at other times. This season is not quite done and dusted - there are still enough matches left for a repeat of our early season form and results to get us back into the Play-Off mix. It is not impossible.

People slagging Osmajic need to remember Riis's first season.

He's clearly lost some confidence being in and out of the team. The guy has only started 14 games for us.

Yeah that’s true and when he gets it on target he hits hard 🤔and it can almost go through a goalkeeper but I think he could benefit as well as game time from more coaching with offside and at times taking a further touch before shooting

I was going to have an abstemious night tonight but after an hour and half of the bracing air of South East London and the hostile atmosphere our opponents' fans can generate I changed my mind. So full-bodied Spanish red it is.

It looked to me like Woodman was even trying to slow the game down in the 1st half when we were losing 1-0?

He’s done it many times before , no matter how many we are getting beat by . A sloth is faster than him I’m sure he watches anything on tv in slow motion so he can keep up with the pace .

I had an abstemious night in my late 20s.

Can’t remember why now. Must have been when I had glandular fever.

How old is he , and he doesn’t understand how to stay onside .😱

I think Osmajic is bit raw, has an instinctive way of hitting the ball very hard as it comes to him and can score or miss badly but he’s offside far too many times needs for my liking needs to be more cagy with that

Shouldn't Lowe and his coaches be working with Osmajic on the training ground to improve the timing of his runs ??
