Match Discussion: Game 14 - The Shakers (A)

I would be interested to see the goals, I will dig them out in a moment but this result is a shambles. The squad had plenty of time to prepare and the game should have changed going 2-0 not leaving it off.

I listened to the game yesterday and I've now caught up on the highlights (what highlights?!) and it's not good.

We were so deep they were practically walking the ball into the net, they literally did for the 2nd goal which might be the most pathetic goal we've conceded all season. Fitz has gone back to standing under his crossbar, does Crossley seriously coach him to do this?

The tactics were wrong, 4-1-4-1 away from home! We're not playing Rolls-Royce factory boys here, it was pretty much 5 attackers and one midfielder. We were so, so, so open in the midfield Bury could literally pass it out of defence and into their attackers.

After the game Harry Kewell said of the tactics it was going to be hard to pull it off, but he's supposedly all for simple football isn't he? And he said part of the plan was to allow the wide players to get crosses in? I don't get it.

I thought things were on the up, but to lose 4-0, it really knocks us right back down. I'm not looking forward to Tuesday...

If it worked people would be praising Kewell, I respect the fact he tried something that failed and he's held is hands up. That's only right!

Let's not jump the gun.
