We try hard but have very little threat and the opposition works that out fairly early.
My heart says no promotion this year is a financial loss but my head says we may have embarrassed ourselves.
I wanted sixth but if we missed out I wouldn't have been too distraught as I could see something like this happening in the play offs coming a mile off.

It is just the manner of the defeat. Even at 1-0 it seemed like we were still settling for it.
Yes Fulham were good but a lack of any enthusiastic pressing makes these sort of teams look that much better.
Yes, we might have conceded another and it would have been game over but we could well have nicked one back.
As it is we conceded anyway with our lacklustre performance and the tie is dead in the water anyway.

I can take losing but not giving it a good go is unforgivable.
