    on paper. So why were they so more effective than us. They were well organised, quick and tactically very good. So why weren't we. Errr...

    Stronger than us from back to front with good quick wingers, a target man who can score goals and hold the ball up plus a manager who actually has more than one game plan

    To be fair.

    I think they are better than us in a lot of places individually, however, that's not to say that a 'team' with lesser players in individual positions, cannot be a greater team than a team with better players in individual positions. The key lies with the mentality, the tactics and the passion of all those players combined. And ours, I think, is borderline zilch.

    I'd rather have St.Ledger, Chilvers, Davidson, Parry, Parkin, Carter than Moore, Foster, Hassell, Odejayi and Anderson anyday.

    They're a professional, tight-knit unit who know how to get the job done. We had more of the ball, more of the chances and still couldn't score. They had 5 chances and scored 3. That's not good at any level.

    Yes they are...In every department

    And not just on tonight's performance, last season while we were struggling against relegation, they were in the Playoffs.
