GrahamC Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Well, if someone could score a penalty we would then have been 3-1 up with half an hour to play against ten men and O'Neil wouldn't have been sent off..

collier Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 If we lose Tammy for any period of time, this defence is going to get us in to a lot of trouble. Let's hope we have not put all our eggs in 1 basket up front this season (or untill January at least). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really really silly mistakes. The two goals tonight were school boy stuff. As was the red card. Stupid tackle Then look at the Rotherham goals..... It's frustrating as it's not like teams are carving us open. We are gifting teams goals EVERY game Isn't that what we were saying this time last season? Nothing seems to change much with city.

AJgEEZa Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Turning point? Tomlin preventing Tammy from getting a hat-trick. He lets Tammy take the penalty, it's game over.

Kingswoodactor Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 4 minutes ago, Atlanta_Red said: Sounds like they earned it. More possession, more shots, more corners. They had more attacking players on the pitch 2nd half. Sounds like Johnson tried to shut up shop when it went 10 vs 10, which is madness considering we're possibly the worst team in Europe at defending a lead by sitting back. He needed to put Wednesday on the back foot by introducing Paterson, or just should have kept Tomlin on. We tactically shifted as though they still had 11 which was weird from Johnson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkateee Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Naturally disappointed, but not in no way down hearted.

Indeed. I don't want to get into finger-pointing and I'm not having a go but I think and hope LJ will have learned something after tonight. From what I've heard (admittedly I wasn't at the game so this may be nonsense) it seems we reacted to going down to 10 men against 10 men by acting like 10 men against 11 and trying to defend what we had for all it was worth. Ultimately it didn't work and let them back into the game. As someone said earlier in the thread, sitting back doesn't really work to our strengths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
