Re-watching the match on TV it looks like the reason they scored was because we did not have enough people covering the midfield at that point. With Sow off we had only one player doing any covering work in that area, Watson, who had a very good game. Their midfield seemed to have oceans of space to get the ball into our area, and took time in their build up - it was there we should have stopped them and we didn't. Draw your own conclusions?
No need to be depressed, 4th place with 18 games to go. We can stay in that top six.

Agree about the build up, it was in slow motion. However I think Sow had one of his less combative games and constantly passed back or sideways and could see why SL wanted a bit more creativity at 0-0. As SL said we controlled the game for long periods against a side who put a lot of players behind the ball and nullified Lolley. Against Brentford et al we may get a more open game and that suits our style.
