Having watched the highlights at Lunchtime, Tav needs a serious boot on the baws for the goal. If he just follows his man into the box he has a great chance of cutting that cross out but he shits it and let's him go. 

It's a great cross but Tav can see it all in front of him. He HAS to be challenging the forward.

It was a poor goal to lose all round. It all stemmed from Niko being slack in possession in the middle of the park which left us drastically exposed. 

Cardoso isn't really marking anyone. It looks like he briefly looked back and possibly thought Tav had the goalscorer. Could Bruno have got closer to the crosser to put him under more pressure? Maybe not.

Tav looks like he has been caught in two (or three) minds. I think he can see the goalscorer, he can see the guy arriving at the edge of the box and he knows there's someone coming in from the wing. Tav seemed to be closing the goalscorer down round about the dee outside the box but then bizarrely changed direction and pulled back and as if he thought the main danger was elsewhere. He was wrong. He didn't have much time to make a decision but the primary danger was the goalscorer. He has to take him or as mentioned above shout on Cardoso. Tav, or maybe even Fod are the only ones who have the best picture but there seemed to be a bit of a communication breakdown. If Tav takes the goalscorer, and the ball goes to any of the the other 2 County players there's nothing else he could have done as he obviously can't mark 3 players. That said, as always seems to happen against us, we are always on the receiving end of worldie crosses or shots!

On looking at the replay for our first, Tav does really well for the first. Didn't actually realise it was a one two from him during the game. Great little give and go though, great stick up cross and fantastic header from El Buffalo as there wasn't too much pace on the ball.

I didn't think we gave away many chances and looked pretty solid defensively. Thought Bruno was good again. Feel so much better with him here. Even though we were poor in the second half for a spell we weren't cut open too many times and Fod didn't have too much to do. We just need to try eradicate these poor spells we have a habit of having. I don't expect us to be brilliant for 90 minutes but we CAN eliminate lapses in concentration and focus, bad decisions, poor ball retention and poor passing IMO. Overall, good 3 points and a fair few positives to take into the break...................

Tav's latest thing is messing up interviews. He goes on about messing them up for other people. He needs tonbe more serious, focused and contrite.
