[Is this it?]

I accept that Lee is an advocate of the passing game, a style that is pleasing to watch when used effectively, however, given the conditions tonight and the amount of needlessly kicked away possession, why was the call not made to try and push/punt the ball forward rather than pass it laterally, a route that only encouraged 'fax onto us?  Frustrated is too meek a word after watching tonight's performance.

Didn't go tonight won't comment on that but this season we have been fairly direct

You cannot go long when you are playing with Reeves and Lawrie up top. If Rankine was fit he would have started or come on and we could have gone longer

It's the time we spend trying to pass the ball across the field in front of our box that I find maddening.  It draws the opposition upfield, places pressure on us around our box, frequently sees us descend into panic mode, the result of which is us handing the ball back to them.  Simply put…….we're not very good at it, why do we insist on playing as if we are?

We seem to make just as many passes around the outside of the opposition box.........nobody wanting to shoot

That said when we do shoot it rarely draws a save from the keeper......usually over or wide

I am very frustrated after tonight so may be 'shooting from the hip' here.........but we really need to work on our set-pieces, corners and free kicks

Totally agree. We must take the worst corner kicks of any team in this league.
