Franconian Royal That's a players problem, not management.
Tbh I didn't think we did enough for 2-1, but it looks like the mentality of the team is poor. Looks like Richards is not interested anymore. I wish him luck, because he's been a really good player. Please, please, please keep Morro, Olise and Swift.
Just watching Southwood, he could be good, but he's not ready yet.
Porno needs to stay. If we keep on chopping and changing, then we will not get anywhere.
Yes, disappointing league debut for young, in goalkeeping terms, Southwood.
IMO has to carry some responsibility for both goals.
For the freekick he inexplicably takes a step to his right as the player is about to strike the ball and has then left himself too much to do to get across and cover the side of the goal that he was meant to be covering.
For the second he is pointing with to his defenders with his right arm to his defenders just before the shot is taken. Consequently he is off balance and slow into his set position, so that the ball then goes under/through him as he dives.
He also had two very narrow escapes. First when he took a touch on a back pass when there was no time to do so and the closing forward very nearly succeeded in blocking his clearance and sending it into the goal. Then he played a suicide pass to Semedo (I think) on the central edge of his area, who was dispossessed - somehow we managed to prevent them scoring. According to Dellor and Gooding the latter had VP screaming at him not to do things like that.
It's a real quandary. He doubtless has the makings of a good keeper but clearly needs more development and experience. How does he get the latter if he doesn't play for our first team? If we send him out on loan, then we need another keeper as backup for Rafael,
