Keeping giving the ball away. It was happening time and again against West Ham and Birmingham. We would get a promising move going, then the final ball would be awful and end up with the other side. For Gus's style of play to work, passes have to be accurate. May be stating the obvious, but there you are. Also, for me, the constant slating of individual players. I'm sure the last time we were in the Championship and were truly awful, this didn't happen. For me, Carpenter and Hammond were absolute pants for the second half of the 2005-06 season, yet neither they, nor any other player got the level of abuse that Ankergren and Barnes have been getting. Sure, a fair number had a go at Leon Knight, and rightly so, and McGhee got all the rubbish from Ernest and his mates, but nothing like what CA and AB have been subjected to.
