I bet if you read the post-match thoughts on every message board the majority would reflect, like ours, the majority of supporters views that their tactics threw it away.
Udders Field deserved what they got today. Arguably they deserved more. They exploited their strengths really well and with a better finisher would have scored more.
I think our problem today was that the midfield didn't cohere as a unit. Wiles had quite a good, individualist, game. Crooks didn't; maybe he isn't up to speed yet, could be he hasn't got the bit of quality needed at this level.
If the middle doesn't gel as a unit your top two are starved of quality ball. If memory serves me, we had one shot on target by a forward and he created that opportunity himself.
I could go on, but can't be arsed. Just be realistic; this a step up in quality and you can't always dictate how the game pans out. Today was one of those days.
