Tactical Ineptitude

[Ruislip White]

That game was crying out for calmness and solidity.  Made for Frank to come on.  Instead we mess around with the ball in dangerous areas (which we did all game) and it rightly costs us.

Agree completely.

Thought their first goal was a consequence of not bringing on fresh legs at 70 mins.

Parker never seems to make substitutions early , or at the right time

[Arthur]

To paraphrase Parker from earlier in the season: You can lose a lead, but you can't lose a lead like that.

Yet again, our approach to being ahead is to hand control of the game to our opponents and allow 90% of the play to be in our own half. We weren't punished against Everton, Sheffield or Liverpool, but today we pushed our luck once too often.

Losing hurts, but the way we lost is more painful... poor management today

Exactly.
