Sgt Wednesday Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Ok, so the referee was the most one sided I ever seen, we still have to look at ourselves and ask what we could have done differently. So it's the 60th minute and we are winning 2-1, we have a squad of players who can't play twice in a week and we have 7 subs. It was clear that our tempo was dropping and Villa were getting on top, many of the players were looking tired, making tired passes and challenges. Why oh why are we not freshening things up?

legendaryswan Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 We should have took our other chances,noteably the Joao header and the goalmouth scramble that would have killed them off. We made some basic errors in defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, this 1,000,000% this. Subs needed to either freshen up players, break flow of game or just give us a breather! I couldn’t for life of me understand why we didn’t change anything. Also at that point we need our players to also be less naive. Stay down for few minutes, slow down a few set plays, not play risky balls when in full flight of counter putting team back under pressure.

MysticOwl Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Id rather player the players/make the changes and at least try. The last 2 games we have lost without trying (playing strikers/using subs). I think this was brought up in the press conference on Thursday.

crookesowl Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 We were at 2-2 at 86 minutes. I can see why he didn’t change it. In hindsight, yes maybe he could have changed things but let’s not forget the extra player they had. Very, very unlucky today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNChance Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Boyd was clearly knackered and cheatgrass was getting more and more space down that side, wasn’t closed down for the second goal and was able to pick his cross out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
