Firstly, Hartlepool were not good and they started the same 11 as on Saturday.
That was on Parky.I understand there might have to be some rotation ( a couple of players, now and then) , but 5 and all your front 4. All the goals taken away.
Such a comfortable first half. They hated Mooney and Kossy running at them out wide. They couldn’t get close to us, the formation was spot on.
That second half was awful, embarrassing.Parky panicked after the pen and changed our shape. Taking both wide players off.
That suited Hartlepool, meant most of the play was central and scrappy. They enjoyed that battle, because we couldn’t play through them.
Awful subs and tactics, this is Parky’s weakness when we are chasing games.
When we went two down then surely Linney for Angus and CCC for Wilson. Angus is way off what is needed. We need to get Ethan back ASAP, Gould had a stinker.
Trouble with so many rotations is players being rusty. Angus and Roscoe certainly looked that way.
I would be playing the same 11 every game, unless the player tells you he isn’t 100%. Wouldn’t minded changes out wide and Wilson for Osborne but that was too much.
We look dog turd with wingbacks, always look so disorganised and panicky in our play. Should have kept the shape and just changed the players.
In my opinion, 3 points dropped. Did not rate them at all.
