it looks like there was a lot of shambles in that side.
first goal butterfield scuffs, but all wallace had to do was stick a leg out and he would have deflected the ball, but he didnt, probably because it was too much to think about.
second goal...we have butterfield on the front post coady marking a zone outside the front post, where is the man on the back post? teams have done away with that now, the amount of times where someone standing on the post would block the chance is unbelievable. stick bunn or scans there, you know, someone who you dont want marking a big player... leave the other up top.
third goal, robinson gets dragged out because smith stands off, man free over on their right because of it, robinson dives in, smith finally goes to close down, but too late, wallace and smith then decide to roll in the mud and watch, rather than get up and have a second attempt at defending. more wallace than smith, smith tried doing something laid on the ground, wallace just laid there.
fourth goal, a simple ball bounces off coady, who stands there, along with robinson who is now out of position and butterfield. edgar and hudson get split. why didnt hudson put in a dispairing slide? maybe he didnt want the own goal to his name...
also look at the state of the pitch. why is it so bad? PPG pitches arent that bad, so why is the stadium. I know there is a different groundsman on the training grounds as to the stadium. maybe its time for change there, as it is all too constant that the pitch is crap and the guy doesnt seem to do anything about it. the weather doesnt help, but i dont think that is an excuse
