2 rare mistakes from 2 of our most consistent and outstanding players. For the first goal, I'm just appalled at how much space he got on that left side. No prizes for guessing which department I'm most critical of. The perfect example of thinking the cow in the other field is better.
Other than that, we were poor. Lacklustre. Clueless. Careless. Overconfident. For whatever reason, we couldn't get a rhythm going. ScottM wasn't firing on all cylinders, neither was MarcusR nor AnthonyM. In fact, no one was. Defenders making wayward passes. Midfielders not really connecting. Forwards thinking they can dribble past 5 defenders every time. Even DanielJ seemed to be slower or something.
PaulP comes on, lobs a few balls over the top for the forward to chase, and those are called quality balls? I struggle to understand.
I also find it hard to believe that a team's mentality/preparation can come undone by an hour's delay due to traffic. What were they doing on the bus, playing poker? In fact, I think the team was set up wrongly when everything just doesn't work. It's highly impossible. Most likely overconfidence and underestimation of the table proppers.
Nevertheless, the team will have a chance to redeem themselves in 3 days. And then again in another 5. This period used to be very enjoyable, but now it's a big unknown how it is all going to turn out.
