Great clearance from Dawson for the first, couldn't see who played the cross field ball for the second, but again it was us who gave it away and then the Jacob Mellis show for their third. I've seen wingers and forwards skip past our defenders all season with frightening regularity, but I've never before seen the opposition glide past one of our players and run 5 yards before our bloke has even moved. Congratulations Jacob, you have the reaction times of a sloth. That's a asleep. And dead.
That was commitment from Mellis. Him working at 100%. He gave the ball away, like he has been doing all the time recently, but he actually chased back and got himself between the man and the goal. He may as well have not bothered like, as that was the worst attempt at defending I've ever seen. We would have probably faired better if Mellis had just shrugged his shoulders and let the man go, like he usually does.
The 2nd goal. Intercepted so hunt was out of position. Mvoto came across to cover now out of position. Kennedy and lewin then also covering left the player at the back post. Unfortunately dawson jogging back ran towards the action instead of going to the unmarked man. Goal. So combination of shitty placed pass to start with and then dawson not picking up the man he could have. (did he see him or not is another matter)
I won't criticise the 1st so much as it was a difficult ball to clear & the finish was outstanding but the 2nd & 3rd goals were truly awful
Mellis. Pathetic. How he keeps getting a shirt is beyond me. He doesn't contribute with goals (like Cwyka), he rarely poses a threat, (like Paddy) and he runs around like a kid, scared to get in where it hurts, but pretending he's having a go. Waste of a shirt.
Yeah we conceeded again in our six yard box but the first one despite the mistake leading to it was a very good strike. A five and two threes in our last four games...Our defence is getting like it was at the start of the season. If it's Nyatanga/M'Voto again next saturday wave the white flag now. We had better hope we bring in a centre half on loan.
I know but with Shea gone you'd think we'd be able to put together enough for just a short term month loan for someone who can be sent back once Ramage/Cranie are back fit. Otherwise we will do well to pick up another point.
Shocking..... Do any of them actually give a flying **** Cant even get the basics right Sinking Ship im Afraid
Where was Frimpong for the first 2 goals aint he a defensive midfielder? "He`s the invisible man catch him if you can"
Shockingly bad defending. I now seriously fear the drop. Mellis is a waste of a place. No heart at all.
