just watched the highlights and although i bow to anyone's opinion who was actually there but how can any of those goals apart from the cross/shot be blamed on belford?
He dives and misses the ball for the 6th, should have been an easy save. |

I think he's just saying the league is weaker this year, which it is?? edit: oh wait, I read that as last years talent in this years league, not last years talent in last years league. So  ? That's how I read but change should to would and it reads different. However I still don't think that's true either, how weaker do you think this season league is, we obviously are and our many long term injury's made it worse but it can only be last years top three. |

I'd say the division is significantly weaker. Last year there were 4 very good sides going for 3 promotion spots. This year you've got Wigan who seem to be turning it on late, and a bunch of teams who are nothing special but play reasonably well on a consistent basis.

So, based on that, the talent we had last season didn't have the stomach for a promotion push.
I'd have to say that assessment would be true. We bottled all of the big games in the 2nd half of the season. (Franchise at home, Bristol City away, Preston at Wembley) When the pressure was on the boys didn't cope well. But I do agree the league is much weaker this season, the quality at the top is nowhere near the standard of last year. |

1st goal is well placed. 2nd a cross should never go in. 3rd his attempt to save is awful. He should have got down to save that, or at least tried. 4th he could do nothing about 5th goes through his legs 6th goes through his arms The defending is god awful, but he should have kept AT LEAST 3 of those out. |

The defending and goalkeeping was diabolical.
They're all to blame.

Yeah agree with that. Just highlighting where Belford could have done better. Thanks mate  |

If it was Vigs nobody would question the goals just blame the defence sadly, shame that Belford is getting a lot of the stick (even if he was at fault for 1 or 2) rather than the defence in front of him that just seemed to part and leave him exposed. |

I don't really know how many more times anyone can say that Belford isn't solely to blame here....

After two games in four days? Bit old school Morsy? Maybe best to give them a break to help them turn a new page. If people in the know say Williams is an outstanding coach, I'll go along with his view. Would expect the rest of the week to be pretty thorough though. |

No 2 games over a weekend probably means rest is required |

Give him a break, Sam is writing pieces for the Mail now, he has to be outraged about something?  |

Interesting. They didn't, apparently, and I'm surprised a little. Not necessarily to do explosive stuff but when you've only got four days to sort that out before the next game (against a team you shipped five against earlier in the season), I'd consider having an analysis session or light shapework. Might be in the minority.
