1st goal we conceded, wtf happened to man to man marking, we had loads of players inside the box allowing them a clear run at it. 2nd goal, thought last night it was keepers fault but watching it again three or four things stand out, firstly should have been wellied clear rather than risking it running on , on an uncertain surface.But after that fk me he must be the only referee in the league that would have allowed that, player lunges in studs up, waist height undoubtedly distracting Davies, but then he just ploughs through Davies to get his shot away!
I thought that for the first. Looked liked a return to some kind of zonal marking that we were awful at earlier in the season
We mark using the Zonal system. I’m not a fan. It allows players to avoid taking responsibility. They absolutely hammered us at the back. Every dead ball situation looked like a very good goalscoring opportunity for them. I was at the game and squarely blamed Lyndsey for the second. Having seen the highlights I don’t think Davies covered himself in glory but the primary responsibility has to be Lyndsey’s. One last point. If it wasn’t for Davies they would have (justifiably) stuck 6 past us.
Definite foul on the keeper for the 2nd goal. Commendable restraint shown by the players and management too, some more famous teams would have mobbed the ref, if ours had, we would have probably got a red card or 2.
