Who can put a positive spin on this?

That OP title sets a challenge, especially minutes after the final whistle, but here goes...

The only way I can see a positive out of Saturday and tonight is if some of our young players learn something from this bitter experience going forward. They do say you learn more in defeat than victory, but we need to see the evidence of that before much longer.

It could turn out to be a positive if our owners and head coach realise that stats and analytics that look good on paper are worth nothing if the other team wants it more. This result added to my worst fears, namely that we are trying to play a computer game rather than a football match. We have obviously done some very detailed research on formations and tactics, but have failed to do what teams with a fraction of our resources have done - assembled a team of battlers. That’s why I can’t join any bandwagons or “choo-choos”, we sometimes look pretty, but when the going gets tough, we roll over and allow limited players to dominate us.
