First goal came from a throw in, via a bad ball from Pack to Kamara... He did the same for the build up to the second goal, playing it behind Sparks.... Then Shaughnessy got caught dallying on the ball in the box.
We stopped playing to Kamara second half which was frustrating... Bishop had a couple of chances, but wasn't marked out of the game like normal.
I like the way he has come deeper, to link up the play in the last couple of games.
Lane should have played Sparks in for a great chance on the pull back.
Pack had an off day and Shaughnessy also made a big mistake..... But all is not lost there is a long way to go.
I agree with all of that, though I thought Pack was good in the first half.
I also agree we shouldn't have stopped playing to Kamara in the second half - he caused them loads of problems in the first, including that possible penalty and getting the ball to Lane despite being brought down - if the ref had played advantage we'd have been one up at half time - Lane hit that perfectly and I don't think they'd have got a block in, whistle or no whistle.
We had some bad luck in the second half - we weren't great but we pounded them at times and the ball just never seemed to come down right for us in the box.
