Without being personal and naming names in either category, can only take a couple of positives from today's performance. Firstly, on the whole the heads didn't go down as we dropped behind in goal terms. The second one is that we can still use the injuries and suspension as an excuse.

The main negative is the lack of pace in so many areas. The back four were particularly "static" for most of the match. There seems to be a habitual failure to defend set pieces; and finally there seemed to be some strange and inappropriate substitutions. I can only hope for big improvements on Tuesday
