Oh dear. What a poor start from us. All over the place defensively.

Square it to Brownhill or cut back to Edwards were the options there not take the shot

Initially by Flemming, allowing space for the initial corner
Left alone by ROBERTS who was 10 yards inside the box marking air.

I think we've been pretty fortunate with our defensive play in the air lately. It seems to be their weakest link.

I'm not blaming him at all but I think Traff will be disappointed he didn't get a stronger hand to it, very poor defending all round though. Plenty of time to go

Sorry if this upsets the delicate flowers, but we've been very poor so far and could easily be 2 down now.

The right side in particular need a rocket.
