Wasn’t just the defence that let us down. Kane’s aimless lob into the box caused the quick break for the first when he had an easy pass out wide for a cross in. Too many players were passengers in that first half too, particularly Russell and McAtee. Play offs are a possibility but hard to see us threatening top two. The back line was always going to be a worry.
Luca Connell is the difference between a possible play off push or not. Russell just isn’t good enough, a poor man’s Miles Addison, & he was *****!
That first half was embarrassing tbh. They had the freedom of Oakwell. Forwards had no service. Having to chase shadows getting nothing from a midfield that was non existent. Defence in panic mode due to early goals. Thank god for the break to reorganise. 2 halves of chalk and cheese. Enough chances in 2nd half to retrieve a point and should have done so. Let's hope that's a 1st half out of the players system.
We looked much better when we went 4 at the back. Change probably should have been made sooner though.
Well that first half hour was probably the worst ive seen for years but credit where credits due we could have got a point in the end. Wish people would stop moaning about the defence because last night all eleven were for some reason not at the races.Forwards.midfielders not performing doesnt help the defence and Roberts had a nightmare with his kicking and passing.Collins probably in hindsight could have made changes earlier but we all learn from our mistakes.Anyway ill be there on Saturday and after that 2nd half performance im confident we can keep our unbeaten away form.
Colchester United I believe it was at home my earliest, I never made it to my seat. I was late having been in the pub. 1 0 down as I walked down to the ground. 2 0 as I was walking in and going to the loo. Conceded the 3rd as I made it the top of the gangway. Turned round and went back to the pub.
