    Would agree regarding the shape of the team, would like to see us stick with that for a few of games. We looked a lot more solid defensively but no formation can account for individual errors like the goal.

    I think both centre backs half to take their share of the blame for the goal both make mistakes and don’t cover themselves in glory. I would also, perhaps harshly, question Murray’s positioning. From a goal kick coming down the left hand side of the pitch I think he should be tucked in much further.

    He should drop off and tuck in with the rest of the back 4 when Bene goes for the header. However, he seems to expect Bene to win it and as a result is caught too far across and high up the pitch and as a result is unable to cover the space left by Bene. Look at the positioning of Crane throughout that move if Murray had taken that sort of position on the other side he could have helped clear.

    That may seem very harsh given the main blame in clearly with the centre backs but I think an experienced natural right back helps out there. 

    If Crane is in a better position, why doesnt he get across to stop the move?

    Bene loses the header, then lets his man run off him and Davo switches off and lets the ball bounce, all on the left side of the pitch.

    Murray gets across at the same time as Crane, having had further to travel, having been properly positioned for marking his opponent and space.

    The fault lies squarely with Bene and Davo, no-one else, not Crane, not Murray; possibly McGlynn for not dropping one or other of the CB's.
