The 2nd half was a bit painful

We couldn't get the ball, and when we got it we couldn't keep it. Felt like we were short in midfield (which wagner tried to address) - it cried out for forshaw but plainly not felt fit enough. Idah was weak up front- he doesn't hold onto the ball, and that's a problem. Individually nobody really seemed to be at fault but the collective didn't work. First half completely different - coukd easily have had 2 or 3. There's lots that very good, but work to do.
