They did what they could, but even in the second half when we started to sit a bit deeper, they couldn't unlock our defence except for one time. This shows me how strong we've become. We looked like a team that was experienced in these kind of situations where nerves inevitably play a big part. Even if Bruno crossed the line. Great job by us again!

(Sorry, was this thread about praising So'ton? )

No, just accepting that they gave us more of a game than many higher up in the table have done.

Fighters like that don't deserve to be relegated.

I know what you mean Pat. But obviously as a team you need a certain quality among the players to go with the otherwise impressive fighting spirit, and I can doubt whether or not they have that in their squad. I like the club and hope they stay up.

If you’re 2 behind in a cup game (where goal difference doesn’t matter), you should be going hell for leather. Considering that (and that we, disappointingly IMO, offered zero counter attacking threat) shows that our defending was top order.
