I think it's unfair to tag all our football over the past decade as lacking flair and excitement - this game is a case in point. Our promotion season under Warnock wasn't bad - the problem really set in after relegation. For two and a half seasons we really did get dull football and mostly players who could best be described as 'workmanlike'. I suppose it's bit like folk after the war tasting their 1st banana for 6 years !!
