Today was utterly embarrassing.
I’ve said it before and will reiterate. There’s no shame in getting beat by a better team, the shame comes from how you go about it.
We set up today without any real plan.
we played 5 at the back but left massive gaps between the players. Mcginley and Carroll switched but couldn’t quite figure out how does what.
In midfield, we constantly got caught the wrong side of the ball. Donnelly and Goss were the biggest culprits and it put even more pressure on a haphazard defense. Up top, we had an isolated Van Veen (who’s form is woeful at the moment) offering nothing. We simply had no out all or even a plan for what we wanted to do, to even alleviate pressure.
Tactically shambolic.
Second half, we started brighter, Efford and Tierney did okay but again we looked so fragile.
The most deflating part was that we were blowing out our arse after 70 minutes.
I’m sorry but that is one thing that isn’t acceptable. You can have better quality players with more skill but the one thing you should never be able to do in the same league is be fitter - and they were by a mile.
The one outfield bright spot was Cornelius who played well but around him was pathetic.
Simply not good enough Alexander.
We have been shite since Christmas - devoid of ideas and now apparently a yard short of a team in the same division.
But hey, at least we made 3M quid this year eh?
