What went wrong?
Every time we lost the ball (and we decided to do that a lot) everybody was out of position. This was very nearly a problem several times in the first half that you watched. In the second half we managed to combine that with about three mistakes at once to gift them a goal.

All the chances we created either fell to Wellbeck (say no more) or found a referee/linesman who was blind to a foul but managed to spot offsides that were not there.

Its no disaster. Just a standard defeat we have seen many, many times before over the last 12 years. Another to come next weekend.

Two more years to go…..
