I'd have to agree with Hagrid. Only one team in it since the first substitution. If he wanted to take Hooper off why not like for like with Pringle. Moving Vernam to the left when he was supporting Thomas really well, taking players on, getting a few dangerous shots off from the edge of the box and linking with the midfield was a bit puzzling. We seemed to drop deeper from then on and gave them more space to play. First goal Hendrie follows a runner inside and Collins doesn't cover the space left which he should and Vernam doesn't track the runner that of course Hooper always does and never loses concentration. Second one Collins leaves Whitmore with two men, marks no one and RHJ drops too deep playing the scorer onside. To be fair our forwards only had half chances not gilt edged ones and got nearly all of them on target forcing their keeper to make smart saves. Similar tight game to the ones we've won and drawn recently. It was about our turn to lose a close fought one. Really good without the ball for 50 minutes, still generally pretty poor when we're in possession with the odd passage of good football. Looking like a season of workmanlike performances bringing in enough points for a lower mid-table position without fear of getting relegated..

Wrong substitution, Hooper should have stayed on. Jolley made a mistake this time. Vernam had a disappointing game today.

The second goal. |

1st goal - Cross field pass from Crewe - vernam nowhere near his man, nothing anybody else could really do much about it 2nd goal - several players around the ball out on the left wing, Pringle makes weak as urine tackle, crewe player crosses and they score |

So no covering centre half anywhere near their player when only 15 yards from goal. Ball watching, poor positional play and unbalanced covering dangerous areas but agree Vernam culpable too.. Free header in the box with Whitmore marking two. Collins has a habit of not picking up anyone. So what you're saying is, any cross should be a goal then? Agree about the weak play by Pringle though. Even though they didn't look in too much trouble until the goal, there seemed to be a lot of moaning amongst our back four today and never looked that settled. Quicker players than the last few teams we've played and therein lies our weakness at the back.. |

I think he's saying in this instance the player most culpable is the one who failed to prevent the cross in the first place.
Can't win em all.

2nd goal, I guess you are correct BigDog that there is also a fault with central defenders, but I don't agree they were at all responsible for the first one.
Real shame as overall we looked the better team until the first goal.

Subs totally wrong Cook looks nothing like ready to play at tyhe moment. JJ did little again today really but taking him off and moving Vernam to the wing killed off any fluidity and creativity up front, goal 1 down to Vernam who had a good game till moved wide and then just like for like subs rather than bringing on an extra striker, 3 best crosses of the game came from Pringhle but no one really attacked them even in the last few mins

You have to pay good money for a goal scorer, Will Jolly be given any ? |

Showed we are still short of quality to be much more than strugglers, especially the lack of goalscorer. Lost to a team who will be middling at absolute best. If we want to get away from the bottom 6, we need some investment in January and 2 or 3 good players. Much better recently, but you just knew that once we'd gone one and then two down, we were dead.
