Poyet rues goals that got away (From The Argus)

• "Barnes has to make way for Hoskins and Dobbie (possibly one half each).
  
  Listening to the commentary, Crofts was at fault in getting caught offside, when we had possession of the ball up at their end. If we had kept the ball there we would have won 1-0. Hoskins is a class act and can hold the ball up well. Dobbie also has skills and a great shot. Surely if he had been on the field he would have had several chances to shoot - something he can do far better than most of our other forward players. Probably a couple of goals for him, and then at least one for Hoskins if he had been given 20 minutes. Both these players have far more class than the hard-working but limited Barnes.
  
  In summary I blame Gus for failing to press home our dominance by only giving 5 minutes to Hoskins and no time at all to Dobbie, leaving a far inferior player like Barnes on the pitch. That is plain stupid to me.
  
  By trying to hold on to our leads near the end, we give other teams hope, we then defend to deep, make panic clearances, and hand the initiative to our opponents. This "90th minute syndrome" (a collective lack of composure) and Gus 's negative tactics mean that we keep on being the architects of our own downfall."
