Here's the goals if anyone hasn't seen them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2s_YPirOSs Firstly, Smith got himself in a right mess for the first one, but what on earth was Adam Davies doing? For the second goal, again I blame Davies, although our 'leader' and star centre-half Alfie Mawson was once again out-jumped. Oh for a Steve Foster character at the back... Can't really blame anyone for the third, which was a wicked deflection. Really disappointed with both our goalkeepers this season, they have cost us so many goals. On a positive note, Adam Hammill is absolutely scaring the life out of full-backs in this league. He's far too good for this level, which makes me think he won't be here in January. A bottom-half Championship club is bound to take a gamble on him given his form so far with us.
I hope to god Johnson and co are working on a deal to keep Hammill here at a minimum of the end of the season. we wont be able to replace him with our budget
- First one Smith had his footing all over the place and his weight all on his wrong foot, nothing he could do once he had got spun there. Terrible goalkeeping. - Second, harsh on keeper or Mawson, cross curls away from Mawson and lands perfect for Addison and the loop over the keeper was the right trajectory to be out of reach for the keeper and to be under the crossbar. Cross and header dropped perfect for them, 9 times out of 10 that wouldn't have happened. - Third, through a crowd, it should have been blocked.
Letting Turnbull go to Leeds and not replacing him with an experienced keeper looks a better and better decision every day. If only this scenario had been predicted... Look at the reaction of the 'boro players during the sending off. I've no problem with the decision, Long goes flying in. Even if he didn't catch him it was very dangerous. The 'boro players surround the ref and it's only after the red card has been show that they show any interest in their team mate on the ground. With friends like that....
Just seen the highlights on player. There's literally nothing wrong with that disallowed goal from Mawson. Not offside, no pushing, shoving or arm used to guide the ball in. Just a solid header from a free-kick. Long wins the ball with minimal (if any) contact on the man for his red card as well, still two footed though so was always going to be sent off. Posh's second and third goals have more than an element of luck about them as well. We were just completely and utterly bang out of luck last night.
