Sorry if I appear to be a bit thick, but how is the goal Gorrin's fault. I have just seen the highlights and I can't see how he was to blame. It was Findlay who gave the ball away. I'm not saying Gorrin wasn't at fault, it just that I can't see it.
This is just after Findlay has given the ball away. I’ve circled Gorrin. Seddon miles out of position. McGuane in a decent defensive position and Moore covering the run of the striker.
Here he appears to be looking left and deciding to let the striker go with Moore. He can see that McGuane and Findlay are over available for cover.
Here he’s in a decent position but to be fair to him he might be thinking that he needs to cover if Findlay gets beaten
However, now the Derby player has cut inside, he needs to drop back into a central position and cover the space. But what he does is a mistake I’ve seen him make many times for us…
He mindlessly goes towards the ball and is drawn in to the ball, as he loves to close it down, regardless of the situation or the players around him…
Now because he’s been dragged in we have a situation where three players can be cut out of the game with one pass. McGuane to his credit has realised this and starts to shuffle centrally
When you look at this shot you see that Moore and Long are in decent positions, in fact given the formation we were in at that point the only players who are out of position are Gorrin, and possibly Brannagan
This is just before the goal, Moore realises that there’s central midfield cover and desperately tries to come out and close down, which is probably something they’ve worked on, and McGuane also tries to come over. Unfortunately the shot is a good one, although Eastwood may be disappointed to have been beaten from a shot so far out of his area.
