We’ll I only had the commentary but what you describe sounds spot on David. Even their goal was a carbon copy of the Sunderland one and you could see it coming. I know we’re not supposed to criticise IE and to be fair he’s worked wonders, but he just never tries to change anything. Yet again, 3 subs all like for like with never any attempt to try something different. Why not try Baka alongside Doyle for once? We’re a goal down so why take off a striker? I genuinely thought we could win this, as i did with the others we lost but there seems to be a pattern emerging with certain players. I know he’s heavily marked but Dapo does seem to sulk and underperform against the better teams. Maybe he’s not quite the player we think he is? He’s 23 now and if he wants to progress he has to work a lot harder and think more than he did today.
I’m afraid my confidence is diminishing, maybe I was expecting too much after all? It’s important to understand that this team is still made up of untried players, free transfers and cast offs, so maybe mid table is all we should realistically expect? I just hope that we can stay at least in touch with the top six until January when we will see how much ambition the board has in helping IE to improve the squad. Of course unless we can move a few out, we won’t have places to bring others in and that may be our difficulty but hopefully that can be done with the likes of Delf, Comley and even Kachunga if there are any takers. Of course we don’t know if Amaechi will extend so if not that may be one opening. Time will tell but I’m very disappointed and frustrated again to lose a game that we really should have taken something from.
