Really didnt understand the booing of Hussey last night.
Defensively he was solid, stopped their winger from getting any crosses in, covered for out of position centre halves and did what you want a Left Back to do.
Going forward he wasn't great, but the movement to give him options when he had the ball was shocking. Mcsheffrey and Kilbane often stood behind their man, and made no atte,pt to get free, leaving Hussey to either play a risky ball to them or run down a blind alley.
Second half, you could see the crowd had got to him, as he took the easy "Marcus Hall" option of a loopy ball up the line for the forwards (mainly Elliott) to chase down, rather than looking to play his usual game.
For him to be booed, yet McSheffrey contually worshipped sums up the mentality of some of our fans.
Also when he stepped up to take the penalty, there were fans at the front screaming for him to get back and not take it. When his confidence had visibly been knocked earlier, and then he got that, it's no wonder he reacted by shouting and punching the air
