Him and Brannigan pressed us to death at Wembley.

I've not looked back at it but seemed to recall during the game for the one that led to their penalty/red was because RR overcommitted with the press, so technically he did leave us expose

You're right, he did, went in for a press that wasn't on, Harness stood still behind him, waited for them to clear it to him and off he went into acres of grass. 

I really like RR, he gives us skill, ball carrying, clever passing and footwork and a lot of positive energy, just a little bit gung-ho and on his own wavelength at times.

That result was better than a regular win .

Felt a bit sorry for GJ , he got exposed a few times by gale’s reluctance to track back.

Johnston being outran, outjumped and out of position is on him, not Gale

He is ok at left CB but definitely not left back

If he (or anyone else) is out of position it can also be about tactics, formations and managers instructions, especially as we have the same issue whoever is left back.  Not something we can know about.

It is very clear what SS intentions are with regard to how we play. 

He laid that out very recently.

He is almost certainly going to continue to play wingers, which leaves a slight defensive weakness on the left, as we all know.

If that works out well for us, then great.

If not, then SS will have a question to answer.

Either way, we'll have to strengthen next season.

It's not a ringing endorsement of our recruitment or maybe even his coaching, but I do agree with SS that we don't look overly solid at the back either way. So we might as well do what makes the attack better and chance our arm. I feel the same about RR vs Simons or Erhahon.

That is where i am with him. He gets paid the big bucks for making those calls. Mine and your thoughts do not matter at this time. Others will not be so forgiving.

I will give him another chance if we reach the play-offs or not because that Evatt defence needs re-building Firino aside

If we dont go up and he does not change the defence sticks with two midfielders and two wingers  both home and away we will see nothing changed and he will be gone before Christmas

SS deserves this summer to re-build
