Dear syd, I thought we deserved to take the lead, but the penalty changed things. I donât want to take anything away from Seb [Larsson], though, as he has been fantastic for us. The penalty was the pivotal moment â if that had gone in, I think we would have gone on to win the game comfortably. However, within 40 seconds theyâve equalised and the game became very difficult for us from there. The margins are so fine. Ultimately, if you donât score you canât constantly rely on the defence to ensure the opposition donât get a goal. Itâs bitterly disappointing to lose the game â there are moments which change football matches and the penalty was one of them. We were drained of confidence and a little bit of energy after that and the game became difficult. Now there is a new manager coming in and heâll try to push things forward. All the best, Eric Black Not an easy one for him to write
The pivotal moment was taking off a striker and changing the formation to 4-5-1. We were still 1-0 to the good until you decided to change the formation. Let us deal with the facts, the facts being that we were as we were, leading 1-0 playing 4-4-2 and not where we could of been if the penalty was scored. Goodbye Eric.
Was the penalty-miss the turning-point??It might have been,but bringing on Elmo for Ji might also have been the turning-point?4-4-2 was working..4-4-1-1 didn't..not for the first time this season.Let's hope Black follows Bruce out of the club.At least,we won't get any more e-mails off them!
