I accept your point though that, in recent games at least, the poor decisions in our matches have not evened themselves out, but based on the very little I've seen of yesterday's game so far, I can't say that applied yesterday.
We can't defend like we have and get away with it and we can't surrender possession constantly with the hope that something will go our way. Yes we've been on the end of some debatable decisions of late, but nobody seems to be talking about the fact that we are constantly putting ourselves in these positions by giving the ball straight back or conceding possession. I know this might sound harsh, but the way we play is the equivalent to allowing a defect to travel to the final process of a production line and then blaming the person at the end of the line when he or she discovers the fault, knowing that there were atleast three or four opportunities to rectify things earlier in the process. I know that we all love the club but we should be a little more honest about things in my opinion.
