Playing against 10 men seems to totally befuddle us for some reason.

Right, stop pissing about, and sort this shit out.  I really don't want to hear Smith's usual whining about the unbearable difficulty of playing ten men.

WTF...we are playing against 10 men and we are still
pulling all our players back for their set pieces. Shocking!

I’ve said it numerous times, but Targett is our weak link. Leave the attacking to the experts... his first job, first and foremost,  is defending, and he’s shite at it.
I’d have Taylor in there every day over him... which doesn’t say much!

no creativity at all - shows how much we need a ball player in the middle of the park.

This is what pissed me off last season. We were so predictable in attack. I am praying better, faster, innovative players will come in because we cannot keep playing it all through Jack

Normal service is resumed for our defence.  Although he barely touched him.

He clipped him in the area so there were no arguments from me. I was surprised it took so long to award it.

Is Targett going to pull the "I'm injured" disappearing act again.

Serves whoever went down right for focusing on going down rather than getting their shot away

Please wake up now lads. It's a constant joke watching us play this bad every time v 10 men. No urgency or idea. Would get Davis on and give Watkins some help.

A genuine out-and-out left back would be better, granted.

But I wonder if we could go all Luke Young and look at Guilbert on that side. Crossing isn't the biggest part of his game anyway and he's a better defender than Targett and Taylor.
