It took a defender to run at the opposition and get a shot off, something the midfield and attackers should be doing as a matter of course. Having got the lead we then fail to do the basics of defending and there we have yet another defeat.
Like Bartley before, Murphy is now being found to be out of his depth regarding formations, tactics and substitutions etc etc. With this bunch of underachievers there is only one direction we are heading and it is not upwards.
I admit that I am a glass half full supporter who tends to watch through rose tinted glasses but the table does not lie and we are not better off than last season currently. We started off fine playing decent attacking football at home at least, topping the league and equalling the run of home victories but since that peak we do not create enough chances and the few we do we seldom convert. Murphy is fully aware of this and has the remainder of December to rectify the situation or we become detached fully from the promotion slots. Over to you Mr Murphy!
