  Goals change games. For the first 20-25 thought we looked pretty decent moved the ball around well and got into some dangerous positions on the pitch without taking on the opportunity to shoot or drive into the box. I feel we are moving the ball box to box pretty well but when we get into that final third our decision making needs to be better. Garcia chance sums up our problems for me. Our number 9 turns down the chance to shoot himself and passes instead. Same issue in the second half , good counter attack opportunity and tries a flashy pass. We are desperate for someone up top who LEADS the line. At 2-0 down heads dropped and we…

  I agree with all of this BUT I think Noel has to change as well. Playing Wing as as a DMF like a quarterback is insane with Wings talent. Wing has a 10 on his back....play him as a 10..not in a position where he is toothless. When he was advanced and got a bit of space we looked better and he even found space to score. Another gripe is why is Elliot sitting on the bench? He has done nothing wrong to warrant that.....Some of his decisions I find puzzling. Noel touched on this on BBCRB after the match. He said that when Wing is playing further forward he is often being man marked and can’t get on the ball as much. Idea of dropping…

  I have assumed after last season they’re being careful with Elliott, trying to bring him up to speed carefully rather than throw him in too soon and risk another long lay-off.

Has more to do with relegated Crawley guy being his signing and Elliot not being so. That is why Doyle came on and not him. When in truth, both should have started. We were at home and should have given them a problem by imposing what we wanted to do, instead of worrying about what they would do.
