Mattock takes throw-ins and often throws the ball straight to an opposition player. Didn't happen under Steve Evans, but happens now.
We won hardly anything in the air, in defence or up front.
Standard of passing was awful.
Bringing all the team back into our own penalty are to defend free kicks/corners (against weakest team in the league today), so when we got possession there was nobody to pass to. Ball pinging around like a pinball in our own crowded penalty area led to their penalty too! Dimwitted tactic, but we continue doing it. If we put Freddie , Hastie or Ogbene on the half way line, the opposition would have to keep TWO players back ! Unbelievably poor tactics from Warney, but seems unlikely to get changed.
Too many stupid needless bookings,
Waited too late to bring on just the one sub
Positive note - Freddie looked sharp and would have probably have scored more if we had played the ball to his FEET! (How many more times do we need to tell Warney that?)
