One thing that I don't think has been mentioned is how their big number 15 managed to carry on after his clash of heads with Hendrie... I was sat right near it and the lad was absolutely knocked out cold for a fair few seconds... Even tried to stand right back to start he woke up like a boxer would. I thought the rules had changed meaning any loss of consciousness meant a substitution?!

Watching the highlights, I think it said their 2nd goal was scored by a Celtic loanee.  Both goals scored by loan players then?

After our free kick late in the game, we had 5 players trotting back slowly from their penalty area.  They were breaking forward in numbers and nearly scored.  Just an observation.

Yeah, I thought that too. Lackadaisical was the word that sprung to mind. Got to see the game out or all the rest of the good work comes to nothing.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,

Hopefully Ollie with have their pants down for that upon reviewing the footage. He's not one to leave stones unturned I'm sure.

Sorry mate but I dont think any Town player was 'woeful' today.
I do agree that young Matty should be replaced by Waterfall not because hes not been up to it but because we need a bit of pace in there.
Matty has an eye for a pass and is a proper defender but is not the fastest.
Still love the bloke UTM


Agree we could do with more pace at centre back but I'm staggered your solution is to put Waterfall in there. Waterfall is the slowest player I have ever seen, he has attributes such as aerial dominance, leadership but any sort of pace is not one of his assets! Truth be told, none of our centre backs have pace. They'll just have to drop a few yards deeper than you'd like.

Paul Futcher never had any pace, but plenty of positional sense...

Its how you read the game that matters...

I think the issue is the entire defence not containing a huge amount of pace, especially the centre back positions. In the past we've had a speedy CB to nip in and save a slower one who usually has great positional sense on the rare occasions they get caught out.
