I did tune in to Wirral Radio last night and the overall view was that it was very much an under par performance all round. Particular reference was made of the mixed performance in the first half of Luke Pilling, as confirmed by RLC, although it was made clear that he had no chance with what was described as a "wonder goal" for Solihull's first. Also Buxton's performance came in for some criticism throughout the game.
I honestly believe the club had no interest whatsoever in this competition but turned out a "strong" side to dispel any complaints from the FA powers- that-be, and I think Micky's post-match interview was worthy of an Oscar. This was at best a training match with I believe instructions to take no chances with injuries on what was becoming an increasing difficult pitch, although the red card "tackle" on Buxton late on spoilt the plan somewhat. The real focus was, and remains, next Saturday's league game. Without any doubt Sutton will have had someone scouting for them at last night's match and they will have learnt very little from our performance.
I'm not sure why the direct link to Wirral Radio is down at the moment but I was able to listen to the commentary by using the following:
