Beyond p1ssed off with that. Beaten by a much, much better side but we certainly don't make life easy for ourselves. I'm not going to dig out a rookie but Clements was found wanting on Saturday and starting him again tonight was naïve from Cook IMO, and frankly unfair. Edmundson is too good for us, quality player, just a shame about the averageness around him. We were easy to play against, it was all so predictable. Possession without purpose and too easy to turn the ball over from their high press. No creativity, no ideas, no b0llocks, there seems to be a real unwillingness to take a chance and a real lack of confidence. Cook is so rigid tactically, aside from throwing Pigott on which seemed more like it was born out of desperation as much as anything else. It was basically a carbon copy of the games against them 2 years back. Lost both 2-0, we had a lot of the ball but generally did nothing with it. Out fought, out thought, and offered very little going forward. I feel like we could still be out there and wouldn't have scored. Doesn't really feel like progress in that respect. Depressing. As for Rotherham, they're going back up. [Post edited 23 Nov 2021 22:37]
