Tactically, Powell got it wrong yesterday. It was a game for nakhi wells up top with support players in behind him. They dealt with grant holt all game but the minute we ran at them, they looked absolutely useless. Harry Bunn should have put us up 1-0 and should have had a penalty and then they go down the other end and score, stupid mistake by Hudson but no one even tracked rodallega, the ONLY player who could have scored. Midfield not enough protection at all for the back four, Lynch had one of his better games in a town shirt. Butterfield or Scannell MOTM, only players in second half who showed any creativity. He should have brought on poyet or peltier to replace hogg and taken off holt for wells and driven at them with pace. They looked dangerous every time they broke out and we couldn't deal with it all game. first two goals shocking to concede, and then smithies does his customary mistake to help kill the game off when we need him to pull a worldie out the bag. Need more invention in midfield as yesterday showed only butterfield was looking to make things happen. Holt was knackered by 60. Everyone could see it. Ward for dixon was just a stupid decision as he did nothing when he came on anyway. Should have had at least a point. Battered them second half. Really poor and dissapointing performance and result. Things need sorting out at the back over international break, Harry Bunn needs a rocket as he was anonymous second half after tearing them apart 1st half. Coady and butterfield as holding with majewski could give us spark we need as hoggy just didn't offer anything yesterday when he's not on form.
