The game went pretty much as I'd expected except they didnt score as many.
That was down to us basically setting up camp, after having a go early on, in front of our penalty area after the break and, although it was embarrassing watching their keeper play sweeper 2 yards outside his penalty area when they kept the ball for what seemed like 5 minutes in the second half, you could understand why.
We were damned if we pressed them.and damned if we didn't.
I am more concerned how we react to that going forward.
It is clear we won't meet sides anywhere near that class again so I'm hopeful, but we need a player through the door in the next 3 days that offers something different.
