Peet deciding to play him in a semi final as his first game back was stupid and compounded by the fact he didn’t put Hill on at all. When Peet talks about the defeat he ought to mention his own mistakes never mind debating the sending off.

Really poor squad management IMO. And he's done it before and even criticized himself for doing it. It seems crazy we'd do this when one man down and struggling with injuries. It was bound to take the energy from our defence and I think that's exactly what happened.

Isa was outstanding defensively in the first half. He didn't look unfit. He was returning from a hamstring injury and there's no way the coaching or medical staff would take a risk on him at his age if he wasn't fully healed.

The injury he suffered on Sunday was to his chest as far as I can recall. This seems to happen sometimes where a player returns from an injury only to pick up another unrelated injury. O'Loughlin had similar problems later in his career. Chances are with Isa it's partly down to his age.

And that’s why we need to sign another forward age has caught up with Isa and Farrell.
