Duffy kept us in the 1st division with less resource 

Fair point and he might be a better manager than Farrell but Jan made the point more eloquently than I could.

Will need to wait to see it, but I think Gray also contributed. 

Hogarth lined his wall up with Gray at the end covering the post. Gray then was conscious of Taylor lurking around wider right, so stepped out to cover, leaving Hogarth's left post more open than should have been. I think, as I've said - will need to wait to see video to confirm if my memory is right.

Highlights confirm my memory. 

Gray is the end of the wall that Hogarth uses to line up to cover his bottom corner.  Gray then steps out to cover Taylor, leaving the bottom corner easier to hit.

Then, having stepped out to cover Taylor, he doesn't actually bother covering Taylor when Taylor goes in looking for rebounds (as all good attackers do), thus leaving Taylor free for the finish when Hogarth spills the free kick back out into the box.

Biggest mistake of the whole lot is obviously Blair needlessly losing possession in midfield, leading to Crighton giving away the free kick.

All basic stuff.
