    Given this whole debate started because we were court out from a goal kick these professionals can and do get it wrong it would appear.

    I never said they didn't make mistakes, Gary. I tried to give a bit of a detailed explanation about why I thought it wouldn't be a good tactic.

    The first goal wasn't because of the Sheffield Wednesday striker goal hanging. The ball just went past the half line. The easiest ball a defender can defend against is a long high punt up field. I learned that when I was 7, mate.

    Just seen the highlights.
    We played very well , just lacking a forward options / clinical finishing up top

    Ozturk isn’t doing himself any favours mind. Seemed to make the rest of the defence nervous as the game wore on, as he’s clearly prone to mistakes. He needs to sharpen up, pronto
