I agree. I was furious when he brought Paudie on and said we would end up losing the game.

Don't blame the ref Stuart, defending was appalling...Devitt ( not even on the bench I know) instead of the useless Paudie would have been a better choice...

he took the credit on Tuesday night with the changes he made at half-time and fairly so - he has to take the criticism and responsibility for today too. poor game management, poor substitutions and poor change in shape from the manager today.. not good enough.
if you concede an equaliser in the last two minutes, there is no way you should be conceding another but we sat back again and tried to defend on the edge of our own box - like we did against Grimsby, like we did against Stevenage. luckily Hanson and Tom Soares weren't more composed in the 90th+ minutes in the previous two matches or we could be looking at 2 losses and a draw rather than a win, a loss and a draw. thankfully we're not.Petrov, WilsdenBantam and Rogered Tart like this. -
Seasons over.
Not going to dwell on this result, the teams ruined far too many a Saturday for me to care.
But I have to say, that defending for the 2nd goal is atrocious. All those players we have in the box and a man runs free, the ball is simply rolled through uninterrupted 3 yards out from the goal? Can O'Donnell not collect? How is no one challenging the cross?Old city man, bantam316 and Henno like this. -

I sit corrected then whilst I eat my steak and chips. Tell you what it's bloody hard work trying to be positive on here.

Late goals costing us again. I asked it before but are we fit enough? Or just no confidence in the side?

The Paudie sub cost us that game no question. Put us further on the back foot and lost a man from the midfield. Flashback to that walsall away game when we threw away a 3 goal lead and McCall made a similar silly substitution. Shot ourselves in the foot after a first half we were the better side in.
First half and second were polar opposite. Second half we suddenly couldn't pass the ball five yards and started launching long balls to Novak who I thought was appaling today. Vaughan or Donaldson would have been able to take us up the pitch and win fouls.
Overall weak mentality in that side from back to front and it will need new players and a full pre season before that will change imo.
And the less said about that ref the better. Absolute joker and clearly had a home win on his coupon.WilsdenBantam, Petrov and Onside like this. -

It doesn't take away from the question, the debate or that we should, as much as possible, objectively review his performance.
Instead of trying to deflect from the performance by focusing on me I would appreciate an answer to my question.
So.... What was right about the changes McCall made today? if he takes credit for the changes on Tuesday does he carry the can for the changes today?Inspector, Aaron Baker and Dubois like this. -

I would have brought on Paudie, but I would have pushed up O’Connor into midfield. We needed to firm up the midfield. So that we were not defending on the edge of our box. I do think the weather paid an enormous role yesterday, if you listen to their manager they deliberately used it, and they won the toss so they could use it as part of their tactics. I think the criticism towards Stuart needs to be dialled down and it is inappropriate.
