Why did we lose the second half?

Their 2nd and 3rd goals are down to the system we're playing: 352 only works with exceptional wing backs. We've just not got players that suit this at all.

 

For the 2nd - Penny doesn't follow his man and Harris isn't even in our half. 

 

For the 3rd - Lees has 4 players around him on his own when that cross comes in. Harris is miles away and the other 2 CBs have been drawn to the ball. 

 

We looked fine in the first half when we were on the front foot but a tiny bit of pressure and we've capitulated. They had 3 shots on target all game. 

Nothing to do with the system. Second goal they caught us a bit on the break and Penney decided to not bother tracking his man, you can see why a number of managers have alluded to certain parts of his game that need working on to be a regular player.

 

The third goal is a disgrace, you watch all the players in the build up individually and they all just ball watch and gravitate towards it. Seeing Bannan, Brown and Hutchinson do that it’s like watching a group of 10 year olds defend.

 

Lees is the one at the back post who looks around a couple of times so he can see all the play unfolding and the spare men but in true Tom Lees style he’s too timid to say anything so just plods along marking his man instead.


Disgraceful defending all round.
