I think the above post points nicely to what happened. It's no surprise that County are top of the league. Best team I've seen us play against this season. Great defensively, and excellent fast passing on the move. Yes, we can do the tippy-tappy side to side stuff, but it takes us no further forward and gives the entire opposition time to take up their defensive position. I was becoming demented every time I saw Paton in the first half run forward a bit then stop. He didn't even cut inside as he often used to do (due to two players getting in on him fast); instead he simply turned back and passed the ball back. It was like watching a 5-year-old girl getting her yoyo stolen from her by a couple of big boys. Worst of all is the overhit passes to our forwards who need to run back to get them with their back to the opposition goal. They generally can't control the ball when they receive the overhit pass and in any case there's a defender right on their backside. I feel sorry for Doolan and Elliot because we're almost never getting the ball into the box to set them up with a chance.
Final rant: It seems almost criminal that they way we are playing, with all the slow nonsensical passes in our half, that the guys who have pace in the team: Sekhon, Elliot and Erskene, need to try to start any run at the defence from a standing start. It's handicapping them. County were excellent at passing the ball fast onto guys who were already on a run at the defence yesterday. They'd hit the bar, had five corners, and had scored before we even had a single (very weak) effort directed on goal. As an old punter said to me on the way out: "Boring and predictable." I think he was talking about the team, not me.
