Just back

Yet again we retreated back to our penalty area for the last10 minutes  giving the opposition the upper hand. It's a Slade thing I am sure since we use to be like that in his first spell.

Leaving a player up (Dembelle) when they have a corner means that they leave two players back and gives us an out ball.

It's negative and we will concede more late goals if it continues.  

It's not just a Slade thing. People have short memories. We did that under Hurst ,people were always moaning about it then. Also don't you think when a team is looking for a goal to get an equaliser or winner then they push you back. It is not always defending deeper but due to the opponents pressure .

Anyone who was at Chester will not have forgotten.

We've had that under every manager at some point. In fact I bet if you look back over previous games, if we've been winning by just one goal I doubt there are many occasions when we've been dominating the game and pinning the opposition in their own half right up to the whistle.

I have not seen every game this season but don't recall conceding late in games even when we where winning.

I would have liked to have seen Cardwell on instead of Kelly yesterday as he has pace and would have given us a quicker outlet when they where trying to grab the equalizer.

Blaming Summerfield for their goal is harsh so I'm pleased so see some sensible people on here. Let's be honest it was a heck of a finish from Zoko first time from outside the box.
Deserved three points today and well done to the boys for 3 wins out of the last 4. Summerfield really dig in today imo but having said that I'd still bring Rose straight back for Newport.

No one questioning Maca's positioning for their goal, a good shot stopper, but for me he gets beaten from distance far to many times.

I will take the 3pts over performance, our little run of form, as been helped that we have played with 11 players and not 10, like we did with the first five games. All the red cards impact the game in more than just the lost of a player, tactics, subs etc.

Slade has had been able to select a more settled squad over the last few games, with helps.

The pass was poor BUT at the same time he's a professional footballer, anyone who is paid should be able to use both feet. He could have got the ball comfortably with his right foot if i'm really honest and brutal.

Exactly what I thought. Got himself in a right mess.

It was a great finish. Surely nobody can suggest Mckeown is at fault for that.

or the fact we had 6 players in close proximity compared  to their two but they got there first

WTF  You really believe Macca was partially at fault??? Feck me watch it again that was a beautifully executed strike partially shielded by their other player no keeper would have got near that.
