Cant blame the ref, never a penalty on copps and handbags on the touchline. Missed Butler and Baudry at the back. You cant win them all !
Opinions ! Copps played for the pen, if it was the other way around you would go mental. Again Blair was in the guys face, and the guy made a slight forward motion, hardly a headbutt. We lost today because they showed more fight. We were the better team but lost some battles and were sloppy at times.
It was nothing like a clear penalty on Copps, he was looking for it and went down too easily.
Just sat down and watched the 10 minute highlights, it makes grim viewing. Carlisle had 5/6 great chances, should have scored more. Don't know what Fergie is talking about in his post-match presser.
Poor goals to concede;Carlisle v Doncaster - YouTubeBoth full backs caught out for the first, and Carlisle miss a sitter with the header over the bar. Mason will have better nights than this!
That is my point, Campsall.For the first, Mason gets under the ball for a simple header. From that point, the ball is played into the empty space behind him. The Carlisle player is not under pressure before delivering the cross, because no-one gets over to close down the man in possession. He has all the time in the world to pick out a cross, and in the middle the lad who scores is in acres of space attacking the 6 yard box. Good finish from him.Numerous chances to change what happened, but no ability to reduce vulnerability from width in that formation. Weakness on the wide left leading to conceding to a player arriving late frome wide right.Any future opponents looking at that get a heads up on the weakness of the system when we lose possession near half way.
