I think he made a mistake not picking a striker for the bench. Either Wilkes or Clarke could have been picked. After Lasogga went off we completely surrendered possession and invited them on to us. Agree about Roofe - he should be able to last 90 mins. Also agree about holding on. 5 mins left, 3:2 up against a team with no away win we should have closed that out. Biggest problem again though is discipline 11 v 11 I think we win comfortably. I think there is a real problem in the squad. Too many bookings as well for petty things - Saiz the other week for arguing with the ref, Phillips gets his 10th yesterday for kicking the ball away. I think this is an area that TC has to get hold of quickly. We’ve now got 4 first team players banned entirely due to our own stupidity, although Cooper and O’Kane are not massive losses
