Sorry guys but, IMHO, we were
SH*TE.
The better team won, beyond doubt, and it saddens me immensely to say it, because we really should have taken a very mediocre RS team to the cleaners.
WE DIDN'T DARE TO BELIEVE.
I feel so sorry for Sylvain Distin, who has been immense all season, but you NEVER pass back in the last 40 yards or so, unless it's an absolute last resort. Isn't that obvious?????? How many times have teams become unstuck with this gambit????? FFS. It sums up the negative and DEFENSIVE nature of our game today.
I'm not going to criticise the manager for this at all. We played our best 11 apart from Royston Drenthe, who was VERY badly missed.
COME IN MR KENWRIGHT, AND YOUR BOARD, YOUR TIME IS UP.
I just want to cry. Of all the teams to lose to in this way. And we did it with a whimper, that's what makes it infinitely worse. Lose the ball, again and again, because of HOOOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! football, invite them on, yeah, on the law of averages they will take advantage eventually.
And, of course, they did.
We rode our luck, time after time.
TBH it should have been a 4-1 defeat, we were lucky to lose by just one.
Sad days guys. We didn't just lose, but we LOST INEPTLY to the RS, of all teams.
I just want to CRY
