This game kind of went how I thought it would. We probably matched them in effort but they had more than us in most departments. You only had to look at the wingers to see - we had still unproven Dale and some kid from West Brom - and they had Pilkington/Roberts who probably have over 500 games between them.
Cant blame Les for it - the annoucements on the budgets recently only highlights how poor our resources are and Udders are a million miles away from us.
That said, we did have a chance with the penalty and like Les, I was a bit surprised no one like Enoch, Welshy, even Zoom stepped up rather that some kid in such a big game.
Gunnar doesnt fill me with me confidence but the worst part for me was just the total lack of creativity - only 1 shot on target in the 90 minutes. I felt that even though it was 0-1 for a long period, Udders were always in control and never really had to get out of 1st gear.
The fact is that they had an experienced well gelled side full of confidence whereas we had 4 loanees in a team low in confidence.
Was nice to see Ash back and even tho Joss is to return, the way ITM is playing and that Enoch/Dale to me both looked low in confidence, it could be a long hard winter given the games we have coming up.
