Faith enough to put them in a position where success or failure on the basis of one kick of the ball would take us through to the next round of a cup competition we have been knocked out of at this stage more than ANY club, but not enough to play them in a 1st team capacity in positions where they belong (and where that was shown tonight by the likes of Cresswell and Shackleton)? I think not.

The sequence of penalty takers was as clear an indication of a total lack of capability as the decision to start with Roberts "leading the line" and retaining some misplaced belief in Rodrigos ability to actually score.
