Not sure you can really blame him for that. That's on branthwaite and tarkowski for not dealing with the long ball.

No need to dive in like that. Player was going away from goal and would have strugled to score

Bottle job fc

What are tarkowski and branthwaite doing?

Branthwaite was blocking off his man. Horrible by Tarks

Nah. He should never have been tackling that.

 

[Ragnar]

That was absolutely horrendous defending

 

[Efcjake]

Always happens though

Manager goes in the media as hes done and we lose the next game.

Don't think that makes the defenders switch off for a long ball myself

 

[ftk43]

Some optimism: It's better to concede early and have 85 mins to turn it around than later in the game

Just don't implode, please

 

[Verbal Kint]

Atrocious start. Poor centre half play from both, Pickford could have been sent off

 

[Amw79]

Tarks absolutely criminal there.

 

[BlueStevie35]

He either lets him get a shot away from that angle or he has to stop him, he gave Schade the easy option to go down. It should have been cut out before that

 

[davek]

I don't understand why you are talking about Pickford...Tarkowski had no idea there.

No. That was Pickfords error.

 

[Rita_Poon]

ball in behind, drew the foul, don't know much else yet.

comms saying they're hunting us down in midfield, good passing in possession, hungry for the challenges when out of possession.

 

[Houghty19]

Defence moving in slow motion

 

[GoldenToffee]

Wouldn't put any blame on Branthwaite, but Tarkowski saw the player run past him and didn't react at all — incredibly disappointing. The game can still be won, but a nightmare start and completely avoidable. That's why Tarkowski shouldn't be a guaranteed starter for me, past his best

 

[wearethefamousefc]

Was that tarks hesitating there? He had a nightmare against these at home
