I’m hazarding a guess it was a collective issue whereby we had the kick off passed backwards and backwards again then sideways to Lennon who took too long on the ball got closed down and we conceded possession to a throw in in our own half 7 seconds into the game......
If we'd have started like that v Swansea 15 years ago, then a certain Mr. Eastwood would'nt have scored after 8 secs.
Can still remember that kick off, couple of passes, out to Che Wilson (?) on West Stand side of pitch, cross goes in, Freddie gets it, bang 1-0!.
Yet since then, how many times have we gone for the jugular straight from kick off?. Lost count of the times we'd KO, 2 or 3 passes then knock it down the pitch to the flanks, where the ball would go off for an opposition throw. And now a days just start passing it backwards etc.
Ok, the tactic v Swansea would have more failures than successes, but cant be a worse option than dithering with the ball in our own half after a few seconds, inviting the opposition to come at us?.
