... game management.
I'd take the Cowleys back on a consultancy basis.
Discuss.
Not being able to bring Harry on is a major loss in this area. He not only runs into the corners but indices red cards.
Reminds me of MA comments after the Ipswich game last season about how he was glad we went for the 5th rather than trying to hold on for the 4-3, sit back and invite pressure.Difficult call - if Hopper had put us 4-2 up we would have been praising them for pushing for another goal rather than sitting back on what we had.
So we had a lot chances and their keeper had yet another good game against us?The other thing worth reminding ourselves is this is a sport. One of the main reasons we watch it is that the outcome isn't inevitable.
Even if you make all the right decisions as a manager.
On other occasions things go your way when on most occasions they wouldn't.
