Every single player that attempted to run with the ball got done for pace. Was loke watching a bunch of old boys trying to play against kids thst don't understand the concept of humility and not taling the piss.

The major issue I see is both the lack of physical speed (we have looked tectonic recently), but also the mental pace.
I've lost count of the times recently that a player receives a ball and either mis-controls it, or just faffs around. During this time the opposition have the chance to get back into position and we then proceed to pass it from one side to the other in a way that would make Gary 'The Crab' Hackett proud. Combine this with the apparent lack of interest from some of our supposed star men and some baffling pass selections where a ball is attempted that would perhaps come off 1 in 100 times and this is why we find ourselves in a mess.
Combine all this with (and I hate myself for saying it) a captain who has never had the presence on the pitch other than through his performances. Now the performances are deserting him we look lacking in leadership of any sort. However stripping him of the captaincy would lead to further discontent in a dressing room that has never looked less together.
Hey ho - hoping for a reaction against Sunderland on Sat.
