Looking at the player ratings I'm surprised to see such high ratings for Maguire and Collins. Overall the back four for me couldn't handle their front two. Maguire made a couple of important challenges but was outpaced and outskilled with trickery and again turned inside out a few times.
I disagree. When Collins & Maguire were tested directly they generally did fine. Grigg's first was a good finish, but our defence was pulled out if shape following McGinn's dreadful error - his second was a tap in after Long put it on a plate for him. Outside of that, Grigg had quite a quiet game. Donaldson got plenty of joy from the defence, but this was generally when drifting wide and being up against Williams in the first half or Westlake in the second. The penalty given against Maguire looked very harsh.
