Hendry is a footballer no Nostradamus. We were on the front foot on the attack and he fancied a shot. It was blocked and the ricochet fell to an unmarked Schick who saw Marshall AWOL and hit a superb goal. End of. If you want to blame someone then it really has to be Marshall. What was he doing 40-yards off his line?

Marshall was doing what modern goalies do. 
 

When you’re chasing a game with 38 minutes to go, pop shots with the near post covered and two defenders in front of you is not the way to go. 
 

Utterly selfish and ultimately costly.

Exactly, I actually thought Hendry and the defence did OK, only really the headed goal that was really poor from them.

Hendry nearly scored shortly before, has a good shot, was probably being screamed at by the crowd to shoot and couldn't have known what unlucky deflection it would take.

 

Marshall, by contrast, had no reason to be so far out of his goal that we was nearly in Lesser Hampden, and gave himself no chance.

 

Great finish, though.

The options he has and decides as a centre half to shoot from that distant makes him negligent in that defeat.

The state of this. 🤣

Not enough that you act like a two year old who’s had his toys confiscated on the match thread, you actually feel the need to start a new thread to berate a young lad for having a shot at goal. 
Unbelievable.

So you believe him shooting when he had 4 teammates in better positions was the way to go?

He cost us any chance of getting back into that game with his selfishness, it’s a team game, not a one man one.

One thing to think about - if Marshall had been on or nearer his line then Schick would not have shot but would have run on an attack against a centre half (Hanley, who played well but could he have kept pace with him) and Hendry nowhere. At best it would have been two on two but more likely would have been straight on Marshall as a one to one and with his quality, likely scored. Marshall made several other first class saves which kept it being a cricket score. Hendry had plenty of options and it is these critical decisions at the highest level which can turn games.

Hendry made the wrong choice im shooting rather than passing when he had options.

However wrong decisions like that are made loads of times during a game. 

If Marshall is on his 18 yard line like he should be then that mistake leads to nothing. We had to players back and they had 2 up front. They would have had to have travelled half the pitch and then beat the GK.

A player should be free to make choices in the attacking 3rd, safe in the knowledge that his GK isnt in no mans land. 

Marshall has never been a top keeper. He made a penalty save in each shootout. Since then he has cost goals against Isreal, Austria and now Czech.

When he had scored for us the other night and hit the bar a minute or two earlier then he was entitled to have a crack. Tell me do you think he had eyes in the back of his head? Do you think he is Nostradamus where he gets a flash of what will happen if his shot was blocked. That was just a freakish chain of events which is totally down to Marshall being AWOL. I have never seen him so far out of his goal. That cost us. End of.

Anyway when you are running halfway into the opponents half you should not have defensive duties on your mind. You are blatantly ignoring that he scored from outside the box in a friendly the other week and minutes earlier in a similar position he had a shot that hit the bar so who can deny him his right to have another pop?
