Come on. That was bad. It was showboating. Easy tap in to the right or take the piss and try to mug guy off on near post. What was he thinking? Cost us the game. No excuses. One all and on top in the game and we could have gone on to win. Instead, within minutes we are two down.
I will give him his dues. He came back early second half and had three great attempts at goal when he could have hidden and sulked. He kept at it. I like his arrogance and continual pain in the arse moodiness but it cost us Saturday. Unlike his replacement who I know went on because I saw his number go up and heard his name on the PA. But did he actually make it onto the pitch? I said I was excited by Maupay in a way I haven't been in a striker for a long time. His two goals in two games was restoring some of what I lost in him. I hope he proves my excitement right. But I have to say my jury is out at the moment.
Overall we played some nice stuff but weren't exactly looking too dangerous despite how many shots we had. Sometimes you can whack thirty odd shots over a bar from distance and on paper it looks good but in reality it wasn't that convincing. I felt Saturday was one of those days. Lots of style not much substance. Lots of possession not much real penetration.
For me Barbet stood out, covering for the increasingly inept Bjellend who once again dropped us in it early on only to be bailed out and consistently gave the ball away cheaply. Canos when he came on was on fire and determined to make his claim made. Woods was great but faded and felt it was right when Dean Subbed him. Even if the fans didn't lol.
Also got to say how great the fans were. Two down and still getting behind them. Even Cardiff fans have commented on that. Brilliant
Still confident we are going up, at least play offs. A win tomorrow will get us back on track (and we always go on a run before an International break then falter straight afterwards so Saturday result was expected in this corner of south of France).
I can see a couple of weak points and I feel a striker is needed desperatetly
