It was a 2-2 draw against Sheff Wed and I just remember being so dismayed by how second best we were and how there was no soul or passion in the team. That, and we scored from 2 set pieces without looking like scoring in any other way.

Also, his stubborn refusal to even consider playing youth team players (even when there was nothing to play for) really irritated me.

Even a bloke that lives 6004 miles away can see how shit Slade was.
