Anderson was one of their better players i thought. Made more tackles in that game than he did in his entire STFC career

Lost of misplaced passes. Surprised by how deep he was.

Hope was a bright spot when he came on.  He looked handy for the first time, which would be good to add to his instincts in the box.  We'll be OK.

Blackpool looked god at times, but I'd be unsure on them against a more physical team.  If they had a central striker they'd be quite a threat to most teams in this league - Yates is not that, although he busts a gut.  He'd be better for them on the left with Mitchell overlapping and Yates cutting inside.

We weren't good enough, nobody suggested we will win the league, far from it, most suggesting mid table or just outside the play offs.

Most still think that.

No knee jerk, lots of positives - lots of negatives.

Look how much Blackpool spent in the Summer, the scorer of both goals on his own cost more than Power has spent in 4 years.

Kovar is young and raw and shouldn't have been beaten twice at his near post (once was enough!) but I am sure they will work on that and it will make him a better keeper eventually.

Next.

We never recovered from J Smith having to go off, why J Grant went central at first I don't know, Payne had been doing well up to then in there up until then, that's when we stopped getting any possession in their third and they capitalised.  From there on nothing went our way, every loose ball ended up at their feet and the ball was bouncing off of us all over the place.  

I'm going to put that down as one of those days for now.  

Kovar very unlucky to have conceded 2 more goals at his near post (by which I mean it's unfortunate that's how the goals were scored not that he was unlucky not to have saved them, hope that makes sense), both were hit hard, the second a bit hidden by Fryers being between him and the shot.  Hope people don't jump on the near post cliché too much and dismiss him already.  Hope he doesn't play on his mind too much either.

The near post thing is a bit of a myth. The first goal is soft, not because it's his near post, but because it wasn't a great hit and was close to him. RW suggesting a knick too.

Second goal he has no chance.

not a lot.

need to get players out before in.
offer for palmer rejected as not acceptable (so we'll see)
Donohue in Tuesday
Leeds lad coming in has blistering pace.

did well for 30 minutes.
didn't do so well in final third.
kovar wants to get to top so wellens is confident he'll look at his game and adjust accordingly.

wasn't fully listening tbh

According to BBC Wilts:

"up until their goal, very good - decision-making very poor in final third, have to have end product - J.Smith (enforced sub) massive loss, Stevens through the door on Monday will give blistering pace"

"Donoghue will sign Tuesday, offer for Matty Palmer wasn't acceptable".

Jonny gutted... Had Asthma attack on pitch, first one ever in a match and could not breath, tried another inhaler shot but made no difference.  Chest infection suspected and  just been to doctors and  has been given steroids to open up Airways. I am gutted also thought he would bag a couple today.
