Right. Where do we start with that then? The selection. No quibbles from me with the starting XI. Pipa has just come back from injury, so has Wardy. Wardy played and is now injured again. I'd rather he be out than Pipa. Not that I don't like Wardy, but I think Pipa is so important to how we're going forward in this season.
McBenza, Eiting and Campbell were also dropped to the bench and Carlos will have his reasons for this, but it all goes to show how small our squad is.
The biggest miss today has been Hoggy and this game proved once and for all what a lynchpin to the team this fella is. Let's hope he's back soon.
Now we made some mistakes early on, that cost us the game. But those mistakes weren't coming from reserves. Sarr and Toffolo are first choices, so even if we'd had our strongest possible XI starting, without any injuries, we're still 2 down after 10 minutes or whatever it was, against one of the best teams in the Championship, who've just had half a dozenish seasons in the Premier League.
This was a game we were never going to win with this squad of players. Bad day at the office. Lick us wounds and come out fighting on Wednesday night.
