All-in-all, it was a disjointed, pathetic response to a growing crisis.
BH is ultimately responsible for the football, but our players let him down badly; which makes me agree with those who claim he has lost their respect.
Hopefully that will be our nadir, but a managerial change without a Board change is not guaranteed to resolve our unwanted predicament.

Thought Grant was one of the better players, at least trying to inject some effort and urgency into the game. Defence was generally OK.
Sutton set up well and slowed the game down but we were architects of our own downfall in lack of energy / pace in our play, poor passing and an overall lethargic display. Apart from the last ten minutes.
Watching match of the day, a number of sides are setting up in a similar pattern 4/2/3/1. and use the ball down the wings as an attacking outlet, the differences, apart from quality, are that these teams have midfielders who can pass and move effectively. Unfortunately we haven't got the midfield to help create chances and need to go back to the basics of 433 or 442 and get the best out of what we've got.
