Watch it & Weep!
Link below to the highlights (& lowlights) from last night - hope it works?
As against Coventry, Luton etc. we seem only too capable of dominating play for 45 minutes, then crumble when the opposition up their work rate in the second half.
On the night, a draw against our bogey team would have more than acceptable - but we managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Just looking at their 3rd goal again and I cannot help but think that if the roles were reversed, Conneely would have taken their player out at the start of the move...

Not in anyway saying that is the way to play, but we have seen it time and again against us

got to win at crewe now. if we do then we can quickly forget the stevenage game as 3 points from two away games is good for me. drawing many games is pointless with 3 for a win. at home 2 wins and a defeat in three games will be an imrpovement on all the draws we go the last couple of seasons.

Thought that myself, Val, when I watch it but, on balance, I'd rather support players who's first instinct isn't to foul. I just wish some refs saw it the same way.
