Do they really need telling that when an experianced Goalkeeper is replaced by a kid you really are better off trying to test him out. Instead we spent the next 20,minutes testing our own out by giving a way a succession of free kicks and cheap corners.

It's about motivation, concentration, being switched on. They aren't way too often. They seemed to be on Saturday and nearly pulled of a great win. Three days later, pretty much the same group (he had to tinker though) seemed to not be up for a vital game.
