Can’t fault the lads today, lost to a couple of excellent long range shots. Thought Stafford were niggly sods…but hey ho. Applaud the Witton fan who told their “director” to get back in his box! X
Also quote of the day from behind me… “is he serving you a salad”?
We were a bit flat and SR took advantage with 2 well taken goals - Hare positioning for the first a bit dodgy, even so we created good chances and 2 glorious chances for Jones wasted summed us up ! what a miss the first was how do you hit it six feet over the bar from 3 feet ? We only looked better when Haywood and Gards came on giving us more shape and bite. We got the selection all wrong today imo but its all about other opinions if we have to play Jones then play a 4-3-3 with Jones behind the front 2 of Hopley and Tames, He does not win headers, misses far to many chances and does not have the pace to be up top.
The stand out point for me was what a horrible team SR were, diving, fouling, time wasting and in the Refs face at very chance they were disgusting I counted 7 yellow cards and finally a red for the obnoxious keeper and I think the Ref was soft on them !
We really cannot afford to go up so it did not hurt too much in losing and overall We have a great debut season in the Premier league so well done to Carl and his team UTA
If you miss chances you don’t win some games you should - but hey ho 2 games in 3 days is a big ask at this stage of the season. As CJ says we have done really well this season, so overall no hard feelings
