    On second look we competed ok, Doyle completed 1 forward pass, Addison 1 tackle, possibly, Mcevely did ok, but Edwards and Foster......could have driven a bus between them, awful defending for all 3 goals, playing players on and not marking or going to the ball, just seemed to be nowhere, and the first one, smallest man on the pitch gets a free header from set-piece. Think we might have given them a good game without those two clowns.

    I think I heard Wiseman take the blame for losing his man for the first goal.

    When you watch the third goal and the through ball, Edwards should have clearly been running back facing the other way, he seems to be trying to take the ball player wide but his job was to track Emnes. basic errors.

    My concerns are:

    1) the booing is so demoralising
    2) we can't seem to defend simple over the top balls
    3) Hill can bleat all he wants about the amazing opposition - but that should only be the real factor when they attack - not when we have the ball and can't keep it.

    This is the first season back in this league that I'm really worried about the quality seen so far.

    We need Hassell, Vaz Te, RNL, Clark and Rose all pressing for a start. Can chalk through likes of Gray, Lovre, Done (O'Brien and Perkins playing now) to make a difference.
