Cox is and always will be quite limited in his intelligence and will struggle to change games or out-think opposition managers so when down to ten men he will get worse. But he is a ‘yes’ man so Swann will love it.
Green has been diabolical for many matches now but still gets picked – and played the full game! Scrimshaw on and balls pumped up to him. Davis had a nightmare – first goal just stopped running with his man. The second goal – pure keystone cops stuff (shades of the nightmares of last year)
All in all a bad day at the office. 1 goal from open play in 19 games. No shots on target (partly understandable given the manager’s limitations and the match situation)
Watson played OK and made some good saves so wasn’t at fault.
