We played right into their hands really, rarly threatened although they defended really well. Flicker got it wrong playing hassel at centre half, Madine had a field day against him. We lacked any sort of quality to unlock the door. Very disappointed, we have made it very difficult for ourselves now when really we should be pulling away from the pack.
That's ironic given the scapegoating of other players that happens every week. I don't think the original post is scapegoating in the slightest. Just asking why our best player in the air wasn't playing against a team who play hoofball
Not a scapegoat, just think Foster would have been a better option, Hassell couldn't deal with Madines height, simple as that
I agree that the OP wasn't scapegoating Bobby. The chance to blame him is there and I'm sure it will be taken...
But by two people who have an agenda. Just ignore em. Most other posters would be entitled to point out Foster should have played.
I also think Dawson should have been involved, we lacked that physical presence against a physical side.
Couldn't really cope with that Olifinjana. I would have started Dawson instead of Daggers and pushed O'Brien up, but why change a winning team? One of those things really.
