Just made myself watch the highlights from the weekend.

Could't really face it until now.

Fine margins in this Barclay's premier league. We had a few more chances than I thought but didn't take them and then its a case of two Bassong headers (or non headers as the case was). The first for their goal where he gets in a dreadful position and can;t jump properly for the ball. The second when we were chasing the equaliser was almost identical to their goal but he puts it high and wide. We really need to improve our set peices because we get a lot these days and our goal threat from them is pathetic.

The only other thing I noticed is how Ruddy still allows himself to be blocked off by the opposition at corners and free kicks. That header they had which bounced over the bar was from no more than about 4 yards out. He should be claiming crosses like that but allows himself to be blocked of and gets stuck on his line. For a big bloke he should be bossing that 6 yards box and beyond a lot more.
