A lot of poor individual performances today. But how open we are to the counter attack when we are in possession in nothing new and it's something Alex Neil needs to address urgently.
Potts will probably be scapegoated for giving the ball away for their winner. And yes it was a really poor pass, but why does it only take one bad pass, which can easily happen, in the middle of the pitch for the opposition to be able to completely cut through us and get 1 v 1 ?
It happened at the start of the Birmingham game too. Harrop gives it away, again these things happen and we won't get every pass right, but then one ball through and Birmingham are in. The Cardiff goal was also a similar story.
There was a massive gap where our right back should've been today when Crooks scored, and Rafferty was half way up the pitch with a pathetic attempt to take our their man. Why is it that our full back simultaneously offer nothing going forward but also are nowhere to be seen when we're counter attacked ?
The defensive balance still isn't right at all, and as I said earlier in the post this has to be addressed very quickly by the manager or it could become a very long season.
