Start with Doran. Another penalty conceded by him has just cost you the game.
I thought it was worth the tussle. One on one and Doran was trying to wrench the ball clear. Fair enough they were on the floor but a couple of times last night the elbow of the ball carrying arm did not touch the ground but the tackle was given as 'complete'. Dodd's dragging of Adebisi into touch (Or whatever his name was) was another example.
As for going for the two.. I think it was exactly the right decision. Level the game, get the ball back and take it up the field to try and win it.
It's all very well talking with hindsight, but if we had got the ball back and put the one pointer over and kept them out it would have been a brilliant decision.
As it was we conspired to throw the game away ourselves.
