We didn't lose because they sat in, we lost because of our own defensive mistakes.

We made several chances before their first goal, and had them on the back foot all that time, then lost confidence. I saw a number of occasions in the first half when Jerome was between two defenders and a little dink over the top would have given him a great opportunity. But we took the cautious option and passed sideways. Admittedly, it became easier for them when they scored the second and third goals, but we still had chances even before the subs. It was better when Wes came on. We can do itwith these players, but the coaches need to earn their corn.
