We were really pushing players up looking for the third goal. It's a defeatist strategy - when Murphy came on for Doyle it was for two reasons: to waste time, and to keep the Slovaks honest at the back. When you've fresh legs coming on up front it keeps their centre backs from moving on up the field for the equalizer........sadly the left full seemingly had no problem getting up in our end...
We lost because of our failure to make good usage of substitutes. Three poor choices.
