Blamed Bennett but looking at the highlight Nelson very poor done like a kipper

As soon as your centre half came out that far the full back should have tucked in. Bennett never.

Under the old regime I never knew who had who as it was very clever and fluid but under "normally" ideas Bennett should have tucked in IMO

I saw it as Bacuna letting his man run into the box unchallenged.

Watch the replay and concentrate on Bacuna tracking the goalscorer then stopping outside the box leaving us wide open

Both at fault never should have allowed player in between them! One of them should have blocked him off or make him go outside, problem was both so close to each other neither made a decision to stop threat.... :o

That’s how o saw it too. If Bacuna had tracked his man property it would have probably saved the goal.

Its wasn't just the goals and not just Bacuna. The failure of our midfield to track back was constant throughout the game. If anything it was worse in the second half but we got away with it.

Wouldn’t disagree with that. Let’s hope NH (I’m so used to typing NW!!!) has noted this.

Flint ‘s aimless pass whilst playing out from the back was the main error for the first goal

Nelson has made a big step up from league 1 so will take some time to adjust. Not that I think he was at fault for the goal anyway. I have been quite impressed with what I have seen from him so far and looks like a good bit of business on a free transfer as well.

The biggest error was Flint being on the pitch.

Flint takes most of the blame for me, for putting us on the back foot.
