Just watched the extended highlights.
The lad who scores their first goal is never marked right from the start of the clip. Mackie stands in front of him,I presume in a bid to have a high line and then once the ball has gone towards the back post, their player just drops into space with none of ours giving him any attention.
The second goal unsurprisingly came off another long high ball aimed towards Cadden. It is one of a number of occassions in the second half where they stuck a player out on the touchline beyond Cadden whilst aiming the ball to the player that Cadden was marking, either to win the first ball or flick on to the unmarked player on the touchline. It must have happen 4 or 5 times in the second half but we never once adjusted our set up to deal with it. Not sure what Shandon was trying to do, he either played a nothing header in the general direction of Gorrin or was beaten incredibly easily by the Accy player - it's hard to tell on the highlights. Gorrin is caught a bit in no man's land, and Zanzala is therefore unmarked in space between our two centrebacks.
Incredibly frustrating that we looked so shaky under long high balls once more. I thought we'd managed to eradicate that from our game. That being said, when Accy did play it around on the floor, we looked pretty confident in our defending. Perhaps no surprise that they chose to go more direct in that case.
