Wasteful up front, missing a host of chances that could have put the game to bed before half time. Start of 2nd half more chances missed then you could see nervousness creep in and we dropped further and further back but without getting a foot in
I was astonished when Dan and JJ were subbed after the send off and assumed one or both must have had knocks
But apparently not
A major ricket which went down like a lead balloon with the team and fans
I could see the logic in replacing Jones and Crowley to be honest. At the time Nemane was playing right back and Jones as a wing. Clearly Maynard feels Nemane is a better defender than Jones (he is probably right...but neither are great). Robertson was supposed to be shielding the back 4 as it was by then, then you can take jones off bring Colkett on an have a marginally stronger defence. Then to strengthen the defence he brings on TAR.. he could have taken Austin off I guess, but it would have been marginal.

Personally I can see the logic in what he is trying to do, the side are low on confidence and it really showed . Unfortunately he has lost the fans and there is no coming back from that (as the idiot who seemed to want to fight everybody because Nemane wasn't taken off showed).
