    Expecting anything else from a weakened side from the off other than trouble, well is cloud cuckoo land. Couple that to insistence on a 3 with inadequate WB’s…..again, baffling.

    Compare Dawson’s stats as a keeper, passes attempted to % made, to the other keeper today….shocking difference.
    Cannot jump for a ball and concedes a goal.

    If we do not keep and play our best players, then there is only one way this season will end. Relegation. And we are sleepwalking into it.
    I think MH subs were spot on today , his plan was to stay in the game until HT , with is lesser members of the squad shall we say , and then bring on betters players to try and win the game in the 2nd half , which he nearly did , and at least deserved a point,. Spence and nombe were excellent,. On to the keepers you can't blame Dawson , for not jumping for the 2nd goal he was clearly fouled . ,there keeper was there best player and kept them in the game . That why his stats were better .

    I saw it more or less the same but, that was a massive gamble starting with a midfield like that. But dare he risk Spence and Nombe from the off considering they haven't played for along time? Fine lines indeed but some fans don't see that and only want everything their way.

    No excuses now though, Spence, James and Nombe ALL have to start in our next game. Hopefully we may even see Gore returning along with Powell in the middle. Now that would make a good midfield and no reason to pump it long all the time. Also Pacman said Gray doesn't like long high balls so that set up og those three amy also play into HIS game.
