Typically, City had just scored and there was a hint of hope with the crowd actually being woken up ftom snoozeball by some pressing and forward passing.
I actually laughed when it was scored.
Shambles. But I think Ralls should shoulder the blame. To pass backwards having just won a free kick and not to look at who your passing it to is schoolboy stuff. Bulut said he was communicating some of the shape changes to Philips. So, it's hard to blame him.Quote:

However, I can remember making a “comeback” in parks football when I was about twenty one - we were absolutely woeful, but I don’t think we ever gave away a goal as daft as that :hehe:Quote:

"Keep that going", by passing backwards to a player who wasn't looking? If he had been looking I bet the ball would have ended up with goal keeper.Quote:

Of course not. It was time to reset get it close the their penalty box and win the second ball. We do not have the finesse to open a can of beans with a tin opener let alone a championship defence.....Its just pointless coaching by numbers.
We could also add Goutas' mistake that led to Sunderlands pen as pointless back passes that leads to absolutely nothing
Yes, there was plenty of space out to the right to be exploited. I’ve no problem with going sideways or backwards if it helps get you into a good attacking area quickly - we do have a problem with the quickly part mind.Quote:

Bowler had just gone off, super winger Perry was the outlet we were trying to get the ball to, but it would have gone back to the keeper at some time.Quote:

Ralls' fault completely. Just puts the ball down and passes it blind to Phillips, who's not only got his back turned but is walking away from Ralls to pass on Bulut's message to Goutas. The only excuse I can give Ralls is that maybe he saw Bulut's hand signals on the touchline and thought it was a message to play it quickly but surely you've got to look at the person you're passing to in that situation.Quote:

We scored and I thought right quick p!ss and I’m well up to enjoy the onslaught as Hull try to cling onto what they got.
By the time I got back up the steps they scored again FFS.
If we had a few more who could cross like Ng, our goals from open play record definitely wouldn’t be the worst in the division.Quote:

Only one thought in Ralls’ head, get that free kick back towards our own goal. Its mind numbing stuff and, like others, I’m boring myself repeating it every single week.
Seems I’m in a minority of one on here and I’m playing Devil’s Advocate to a degree.
Cracking pass, took out all 10 outfield players :hehe:

The third goal yesterday was a moment of individual poor judgement/bad luck- no more than that.
Of more significance was the fact that when we tried to chase the game, we posed no more of a goal threat and just became a shambles at the back.
It's a shambles isn't it but it's a bit unlucky.
Ralls plays a pass back to a defender that isn't looking so has blame to take but he's probably just seen a blue shirt moving forward for the ball. I've never played professionally but when I played I rarely was able to focus on people's faces. Still from a dead ball situation more care is needed.
Phillips isn't looking, he's passing on a message to someone, probably isn't expecting us to take it so quickly. Still he should be more aware. Philogene certainly was.
It's just another poor goal to give away, for which we have specialised in.
Ralls' fault, but it was made to look slightly worse by Phillips being so lackadaisical.
We are not only physically slow but mentally slow as well. When was the last time you thought to yourself.."That was a clever piece of play by _______ (insert name)?

Nothing unlucky about that goal. I can't blame Phillips as he was passing on instructions so it's mainly Ralls' fault for not being aware of what was going on before kicking the ball and Bulut and the coaches for dictating that we often play backwards instead of looking to attack from dead ball situations.
