I said before th Stranraer game that I was wary about playing Macey in the cup games. Precicesly for this reason. It now leaves us with a decision to make before the semi final and it also gives rise to a situation like this where hypothetical 'if Marciano was playing' scenarios get put forward. I know other clubs do it but I think it's best left for the group stages of the LC. In the latter stages of either cup, you play your strongest team. We aren't Man Utd, we don't have a world class keeper warming te bench.
On the subject of today. I always assess goals and say would I be happy to take the blame if I conceded that? The 1st one? Definitely. I think he anticipated a touch that never came and then was unable to react. He'll be disappointed. The 2nd? I'm not so sure. The cross was a tricky one to come for, it's one if he comes and takes it you say great, if he gets caught underneath it then he's in trouble. It's a good header from close range. He's maybe a step too far over but he's always going to defend that near post. A keeper maybe saves that 5 times out of 10 and it's hailed a great save when he does.
More generally today was the 1st time I've been really unconvinced by him. He looked quite nervy throughout and hesitated on a couple of occasions.
