Even Preston turned up for the point, the game plan was to bypass our woefully under weighted midfield for our wings, yet everything spent more time in the air than on the ground. The ref didn’t help, and even though he actually blew up he seemed to blow up for EVERYTHING he just didn’t let the game flow at all.
For me two players who need to be hauled off and given the opportunity to work back into form are Zohore and Mendes Laing - they are so out of form, Zohore was lazy and sluggish tonight he hardly seemed up for the fight - Mendes Laing showed why it failed at Wolves, bad decisions everytime he had the ball. Although there was nothing fancy from Feeney he was the better of the starting wingers.
Tomlin got kicked all night and had little to no service due to the wing play - you could see Warnock had told everyone to slow it down from the delays Etheridge, normally quick with his distribution, was making to restart play.
Why oh why does Bogle get left on the bench he’s tenacious hungry and is exactly what we like in a forward, even Healy’s movement was miles on top of Zohore!!
Needs a drastic change ASAP

Preston seemed happy to go for a point, but about halfway through the second half realised how bad we were and pushed forward a bit. It worked.
