It is madness to ask 10 outfield players with 90 minutes in their legs to defend against a home side with half of their players with fresh legs. I just don’t get it

I do, it's corporate influence and the word 'Flogging' springs to mind. As soon as a young player shows some promise. They're in, all in. No rotation for let's say anAdult man with experience. It's ALL IN and then they get injaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Because it's a short-sighted Business Policy. Rotate the squad ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reading some of the comments it’s very obvious that many don’t understand football at all.

Absolutely clueless from some. Borderline mental from others.

We were poor in the first half due to their organisation. The opposition are allowed to put up an effort you know.

Second half we changed things in possession, Dan Neil dropped in between the centre backs and we created plus ones at the back and on both wide areas with full backs pushing on.

We should have got a third, we should have defended the back stick better (and prevented the cross) for their second but it happens.

A good point when we take all three at Stoke.

I'm sorry but I don't agree it's a recruitment issue.
There is at least four championship quality players on our bench and he only used one of them.
I don't know what Le Bris was like in France- but I think it's an obvious weak point that he isn't able to change mid game or react to anything that isn't just a like for like swap.
He is fantastic at setting up a team- which is why we are 1-2 up at 89 minutes- but I don't see any indication that better players will change him.

Not a recruitment issue ?
Our bench was weak as pish today. That’s a recruitment issue.

But he didn't score, he also skewed a shot when free at back post, he doesn't look like scoring nor could he get a game in the SPL last year. He's lively but absolutely no goal threat at all and will not challenge in the air. Ba was more of a goal threat and he was absolutely awful.

He’s proven he can score goals, for us. He’s not been given a chance again upfront since then. He’s also 18 years old. Isidor missed a one on one. Blackburn missed an open goal basically in the first half. It happens.

I don’t know everything about football but aye I’d bet my left but I know more than some. And that number has certainly increased after reading some of this thread!

Just out of interest what did you disagree with in my original post?

He 'bottled it' GK took itfrom his feet. Reserve Fotty for him for 6 months. He's shown he isn't up to standard at this level. The corporates that run our club think they can toss a bunch of kids in their with big FOR SALE signs on their back. Why doesn't anyone else see this? "The Model" for what it is.

Tbf, you've always been one of the football village idiots. Thankfully you haven't changed as this board comes to its end.
