Poor service from midfield. Phillips a shadow of the player he was last season, Styles blows hot and cold and Russell sits too deep.
Just shown pen replay twice on Rams TV. Even their commentators saying incredibly soft and Collins bought it.
Mmmm imho, we've been ok. They seem to be old manning us (and it looked like the penalty was harsh) and are quite physical. Williams seems lost at times and Mendez laing (typo?) has him on toast. Watters....I'll be nice and just say he has limited ability at this level. Other than that I think we have done ok...and have a chance af getting a draw. Fingers crossed but i wouldn't be surprised if they get another.
Watters must show something in training but he hasn't done much in games. Not sure Cole and Watters work together. Hope we change something at half-time and show more urgency. Is this where we finally come back to win?
Soft penalty let’s be honest, would we have got that at the other end? Of course we wouldn’t…. With our record in games coming from behind, that’s pretty much game over….. Unless that injustice can spur us on & take it to em 2nd half!!!
As he said... "I don't want to say Collins conned the referee... I don't know whether it was more than a touch or not, but Collins used his experience to make the referee make a decision"
Just means the quality of our shots have been low quality. 0.76 xg is what a penalty opportunity would be.
I'd give jalo or Cosgrove a start before watters. Also styles turning up for 1 game in 4 is becoming annoying thought he was supposed to be a stand out player at this level? Reminds me of George moncur.
I do think O'Keefe puts his hands on him, I don't, however, think he pushes him. I think it's a bought penalty, with or without rose tinted glasses.
