    Did you not feel James that at 0-2 with us playing down the hill in the second half we had a good chance?
    I did and no way did I expect 0-5.
    So with the expectation of a good old-fashioned comeback, taking off a centre half for another centre half at half time would have had us scratching our heads.

    That's the crux of the matter - with no changes at the back I felt we were always likely to concede more, which we did. While that's likely then no matter how many forwards are on then you're going to be constantly chasing the game. We needed to stabilise the ship first and foremost then gradually try to then get a grip in the middle and try to then exert pressure the longer the game proceeded. But as I said, it's all irrelevant now.

    we couldnt change due to the siegrist injury - maybe we should have but as i am an expert on all things i said at half time keep it the same with King off.
