Think today it was a case of the wrong tactics/formation.

We played a big direct team and yet our primary method to get out of defense was the long ball to the flanks. They dominated us in the air all over the pitch and we never picked up the second ball off Akinfenwa.

On the ground we could have played them off the park - 5-2-1-2 would have give us an extra man at the back and overloaded the centre of the pitch where we cut them apart.

Think they deserved the win - they always looked dangerous on the break and from set pieces - all you can ask for away from home.
