Thoughts on the debacle.
KC got it badly wrong with his team selection and the fringe players showed exactly why they are that. I was very surprised he started with 3 kids up front and I expected Smith or Rose to start with one then replacing the other.
The choice of wing backs gave us no defensive cover and Oxford found a lot of joy down the flanks and the back 3 got over-run. Some on here want Marshall in the starting 11 and tonight showed why he isn't. I would have started with Harriman and brought Marshall on with Smith. When Smith was introduced he needed good quality crosses so Marshall was taken off and Korboa pushed out wide which made no sense.
The back 3 selection was as I expected, Bolger and Sheehan rested and Racic and Martin given game time. Martin has put in some reasonable performances when playing in the back 3 but with no defense down the flanks they were badly exposed. Still wating to see the Racic that the Brentford fans have seen.
After the substitutions we lost all shape we hardly troubled their keeper all game whereas they had 20 shots.
However I think people uttering profanities and calling for KC's head will be deeply disappointed despite last nights embarrassment as he has enough credit in the bank with KT after gaining promotion. Also in the present climate can we afford to pay off the remaining 1.3/4 years of his contract? Any new manager would also be wanting funds to bring in his own players.
