It started when i saw the team sheet, how on earth Mutch and Noone gave way for Kim and Whittingham was staggering, it looked a strange decision especially the way the two have been playing lately.
I read that some of our resident jacks thought their team are back to their best well they must have been pissed for the first 45 minutes because it was very poor viewing from both sides, one shot on target each, (ours from Whitts which was well saved and theirs which was virtually a back pass) the game changed with two goals given to them by two school boy errors from both our full backs, (one can almost be excused because he is no more than a school boy) and was Fabio not brought in as a left back??? we have plenty of cover at right back so why is he playing in that position??? Declan John has a great future but should not be thrown into a premiership relegation battle, even after the first goal went in we could / should have got back into the game when Bellamy was unlucky to see his shot rattle off the crossbar with the keeper well beaten, there was no doubt in my mind that up until then the jacks were there for the taking but when the second goal went in they went on to dominate the game and deserved their victory.
Too many players went missing today, Jones and Zaha did nothing, how Kim played the ninety minutes is a mystery and Whitts gave is all too usual gutless performance, to me only Bellamy and medal came out of the game with any sort of credit. I always thought that ole didn't have enough time to turn this mess around considering the transfer window opened on the day he took over, to me he needed at least a month before the window opened to asses what players he needed to bring into the club, everyone is saying that we have winnable home games to come, we do, but because of our poor away form there is now becoming too much pressure on these "must win" games.
Finally, Derby County aside, has any other team made such an arse of their promotion season as us???? when you consider how much money Malky spent in the summer and possibly another £10 million in January it really has been a total f*ck up.

Your take on it is insane
Why "should" you have equalised with Bellamys shot? If there was no goalkeeper in he still wouldnt have scored, he missed. You could say that about any shot that narrowly misses.
We had the better of it for the whole match. We controlled the forst half wothout creating that many chances but had more than the one shot on target you speak of, Routledge had 2 by himself.
The change of bringing on Hernandez for Emnes is when we went up to the gear we had got accustom to and it was painful viewing in terms of a contest from there on in and a deserved 3-0 scoreline.
Id say the second goal was a defensive mistake as he should have cleared it but was naive, however Dyers movement and determination to get on the end of it was superb. How you can say the first ine is a defensive error I will never know. One of the most sublime passes ive ever seen and an expertly timed run saw us get in behind you and a superbly composed finish to boot.
We were excellent.

Although it pains me to say it, I have to agree with the Jack's assessment; we were well beaten

Yes, i've already said in my post that after the second goal that was the case, but the first half was shocking from both teams with very little entertainment what so ever.

Which we disagree with.

The opening para was my main point . Why not start our best two players . Very poor team selection
