Dire first half performance from us. Spearing is not a wide midfield player , Cole is not a left midfield player and Poulsen is not a football player.
I thought once Spearing moved into the centre and Carroll came on we improved but with no pace whatsoever up front we still lacked any sort of cutting edge.
Carroll looks like he can do a great job for us...... but only if given the right service. We need good crosses into the box not just high balls thrown up to him.
1-0 Is not too bad considering how poorly we played, so we should win the return leg comfortably, whether we have enough to win the trophy looks doubtful at the moment though.
