Poor in the first half, better in the second once Eddy came on. Defence looked very open and they were getting through too often, probably unsurprising given that we were without 3 of the usual 4.
McGregor MOTM with Brown, Julien, Forster and Johnston of the starters playing well. Forrest and Ntcham were poor in the first half but a lot better in the second.
The negatives. Hayes was awful. Passed to County players more than teammates and on several occasions gave the ball away in areas that allowed them in on goal. We have a Scottish international left back on the bench who is head and shoulders better than Hayes at left back. Why?
Bauer, good defensively but not great in possession, Jozo playing on the left side is an accident waiting to happen. Griffiths as lone striker just doesn’t work anymore. His movement, anticipation and decision making were poor. Hit a few decent crosses from dead balls though.
We are so dependant on Edouard it is frightening. He gets injured, we are fecked.
The manager wanted 3 experienced players in this window, 6 days to go he has 0.
