Movement off the ball. I have mentioned once or twice of late that it has been lacking of late maybe tired legs with a lot of games in short space of time but great to see it was back to our best yesterday.
Thought he was poor yesterday , first goal seems to assume its offside but not sure if he can save it anyway .Second goal no attempt to stop Axels cross and third goal slow to come off his line as Hutch first touch is a little heavy !
Been a lively debate once or twice on this forum regarding Clarke's positioning as he so often tucks in towards the centre backs in most games . Axel did the same many times yesterday so as has been pointed out by some of us that is how KM wants his right back to play when defending . Another interesting point , warm up yesterday heading and clearance practice instead of the usual 4 defenders we went into a 5 to include Burns .
Several regulars running on empty and the movement off the ball suffering late on Saturday , very understandable of course but it's going to be interesting to see our starting starting eleven Tuesday .
That we don't cheat like so many sides WBA for example , we don't time waste and keep going down injured!! We just got on with the game . Hence just the 3 minutes added time . We'll done to the officials for that .
KM simply must address the fact that we just keep conceding an early goal or the first goal and in doing so give ourselves a mountain to climb . Does not matter if we are playing Leicester Preston or Maidstone we simply cannot keep blaming the match officials we must sort this out . Hopefully starting next Saturday.
Bit of a worry again our lack of goals from the above. I can only remember Chaplain's superb header against Sunderland nothing else I can remember of late , obviously nothing against OPR or Stoke and about a dozen corners today plus other set pieces and no reward. I remember Kieran refering to it recently as a very important part of the game and it is of course . Maybe that's another reason we are out of the Cup !
Read Cardiff after Axel and West ham after Leif and I am sure there will be other interests as we are obviously looking to buy and have to be aware of FFP , will we have to sell ?
