It would be easy to criticise the defence and just blame them but the midfield is slow statuesque and let’s runners go all the time - so when the defence ( also statuesque) look up and see a sea of yellow striding through the middle of the park un hindered or challenged (dragging the team bus ) (might as well have drove the bus through as well ).
We are Amateurish in all we do I’m afraid. And at this level of football that isn’t acceptable under any circumstance.

We DO NOT compete - I’m afraid Brownhill isn’t a captain and doesn’t set a tone

This summed everything up for me yet again their keeper had nothing to do for the whole game and our first proper tackle was the 89th minute I believe where Rodriguez made two that he looked like he meant which was as good a summary as I can give.

Points -

1 - transition is slow
2- we ball watch A lot
3 - we do not compete
4 - we get out fought - muscled
5- we let runners go of the back of midfield and defence
6- we do not communicate or 5 wouldn’t be happening
7 - we don’t have aggression or heart in our play

8 - VK has to be answerable to some / all of the above - I can accept players teams being better than us - but just going through motions is robbery to us the fans who travel and pay to watch

As above NOT ACCEPTABLE
