18 yards might be excusable, that would be the edge of the penalty area. The penalty spot is only 12 yards from the goal, and the goal is 8 yards wide.
Redmond had signalled to the bench and then gone over and exchanged a few words a few minutes before his substitution. Whatever that was for I cannot say, he might have been ordering the post-match drinks.
We played better than against Hull (it couldn't have been worse) but we never attacked with intensity. It was an away performance. Leave one up front, try to keep it tight at the back and hope to nick a goal.
The midfield don't get forward quickly enough to support our lone striker. That much is obvious but they must be playing this way under
Puel's instructions. We are set up too defensively and that will get us nowhere in this league.
