How on earth did he not concede against a decent team in absolutely horrendous conditions if all of our back 4 were poor?i agree our back four all were poor last night and long was probably one of our worst players.
I thought that Eastwood did OK yesterday in horrendous conditions.Ruffles and Eastwood are definitely the weakest part of the team atm.
Think a pair of attacking fullbacks will be on the shopping list.
Ruffles part of a solid back five that hadn't conceded at home in the league since aug! But he should be a flying winger , yes that would work well with Fosu!How on earth did he not concede against a decent team in absolutely horrendous conditions if all of our back 4 were poor?
Defensively I thought that Long was excellent and Mous very good.
Some of the criticism.on here is a little daft in my view.

really got to get my eyes tested - read that as Des 0’ConnorBelieve Lee O'Connor was at the game last night.

He has been back 2 games and will I suspect be shaking off the rustiness.
Believe Lee O'Connor was at the game last night.
He’d probably offer more of a goal threat than Mackie doesSo was Les Ferdinand
Can’t believe anybody could say Sam Long had a poor game let alone a terrible one. I’m not dubbing him the new Cafu or saying he’s the man to carry the position for the season, but to say he was poor last night... wild. Absolutely wild.
I think what's happening is that some fans got a little carried away thinking auto promotion was a given and then after losing to a decent side and getting a point in horrible conditions against another promotion candidate they let off steam and in some cases look for a player/s who is/was to blame.
it appears that some will now have a reality check after thinking we were just going to blow teams away every week.
I think I noticed a few occasions last night when Gorrin and Dickie seemed to have communication issues....at least it looked to me like this was what Gorrin was suggesting shortly after some of our more incoherent moments.
I am thinking that Cams absence has made this worse as he and Gorrin have such a good partnership/understanding. Without Branners on the pitch, he doesn't have quite the same outlet, which has led to a few moments of indecision.
I also don't get the lack of movement at our throws...but that is a different issue...
I do think some people are getting carried away with this “best team in the league” stuff which is being peddled by some opposition managers. That having been said, we are clearly one of the contenders for promotion and will be right up there. Keep an eye on Sunderland and Portsmouth in your wing mirrors though. I’d guess we’ll finish between 4th and 6th.Or just give their opinion of who they think has not played well and who has played well.
Some supporters don't like to see any criticism of any players for some reason.
It's one thing for people to give their opinion on who has played well or not over the last game or two, but it's another thing entirely to suddenly start suggesting players aren't good enough and should be dropped and replaced.Or just give their opinion of who they think has not played well and who has played well.
