While Palmer’s loss was always going to be difficult, it really shouldn’t have the effect of blowing up our season and cause performances like yesterday’s.

In the age of the transfer window we have to have a playing style that can withstand the loss of important players and also have alternatives when plan a isn’t working.

Days like yesterday happen, the big worry for me was those strange substitutions and the complete absence of anyone on the bench who could change things up. It's almost as if Williams was trying to send a message about the lack of options he currently has, because I’m struggling with why Brindley, JOB and Gosling were brought on, or what they were expected to achieve.
