First of all great credit to the coaches and players for the form in recent weeks, the style has been much better and we have looked threatening, but I got the impression that after the interception the plan changed and we went back to drives up the middle and kicking rather than moving the ball wide. I thought we should have continued to stretch them but instead persisted in driving up the middle which was ineffectual. I completely agree ref the Bibby / Halsall thing and never understood the decision to sign Bibby. Rightly or wrongly I lay a big portion of the blame for defeat on Connor for abdicating his job at a vital time to go crying to the ref - he needs to stop this nonsense and just play the game - quite clear from the Lomax interview that it is being turned around and others are winding him up and we saw the result - brilliant defence ruined by his stupidity. Overall a decent performance but nothing to show for it
Very true regarding Connor. At one time he got a rise out of opponents and they lost control/gave away penalties of got carded. Now they just laugh at him, as he is the one getting penalised, it's very embarrassing. Tomkins went through a similar phase, where he spent more time remonstrating to the ref than playing the game, but he learnt quickly. Connor needs to be given the hard word that he is gaining nothing and jeopardising our chances with his outbursts.
