They meant business from the start of the second half though and got the early red card which paired with the goal aswel meant we were there for the taking and so it proved. Phippsy clearly is good in CB but he'll has had multiple reds since he's been playing there and lacks the discipline in key moments which costs us a lot of points. Eastman looks a lot more composed and natural at the back but I feel Strevs might still stick with Phippsy when they are both available again but all depends on the formation we play with. Was a long trip for many but i wouldn't say it was an awful performance and on another day we could of gone away with a nice point.

Eastman is the better of the two by far. I hope he's fined big. He's been sent off a few times now. Dont matter how good he is if he's not on the field.

My only worry about Eastman coming back is the possibility of us going to a back 3 and wing backs again... this formation works for us

Kendall does well but he’s just not going to get the goals in a side that plays direct, we need someone bigger physically.

Not sure about the red card, Tavares was covering over on the far side but might not have got across quick enough to prevent Grigg from getting a shot off. Either way, to call it a guaranteed clear goalscoring opportunity requires a degree of assumption.

We didn't even get a moment's respite to regroup with the resulting free-kick going straight in. From that moment, it was always going to be incredibly tough yet the manner in which we gifted the penalty was immensely frustrating. The lad was going away from goal and could only realistically deliver into the box - the intervention from Clarke was needless and braindead.

The third happens as a result; very poor from Justham, just like the equaliser to be honest.

I think harsh blaming the goalkeeper for the equaliser? Third yes definitely needs to do better, but i think the 1st is never his fault.

It's not a glaring howler but he gets a strong hand, in the only area where Colclough could realistically have struck it. He would back himself to do better there.
