Short highlights again lads, someone must hate us, which means we're still famous..... Good run by Sacko, good cross and well taken goal by Wood. You'd have to say we had a bit of luck in that the defender knocked the ball back to Sackos legs rather than put it out for a throw in, but Sacko was consistent in his run which contributed to the goal. Their goal, was anyone at fault? For me Green was caught flat footed, he watched the ball hit the post and go in, and he was stood nearer to that post than the other one, if you have time to stand and watch a ball go in, you have time to make an effort. Defender on the far post looked a bit short to jump high enough to head the ball away, any where. Who were the defenders that allowed the player to head the ball back to the penalty spot? Ayling was there, Jansson was very close. I'll leave you to form your own opinions as you see it.
Thanks LeedsLover. Having looked at the goal conceded again I can't really blame anyone defensively. A good corner took us by surprise as it was so deep, nice header back across and a good finish. On another day the Wigan player who tries the overhead kick connects and skies it over the bar.
Cheers for the highlights (although short). Wood unlucky not to get his second. I also hate it when keepers watch the ball go in the net, so frustrating. On this occasion it wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference and he did make some good saves earlier in the game (credit where credits due). The defending for their goal is a bit iffy, just so frustrating to concede at that time in the game especially when we were so unable to do it against Derby.
