I wonder whether it is the fault of our manager.
Every club we seem to play he gives interviews telling us how we are lucky we are to go an watch the U's against such illustrious opponents with a larger budget than us, a nice big ground with more fans than us and better quality players.
In the past our managers have said, yes we are underdog, but go out there stand up and be counted and give them a game and make a name for yourselves.
If the manager is being this negative in press conferences, what is he like in the dressing room? This is what most fans are asking.
We used to be a thorn in the side of the bigger clubs, but we looked like a bunch of rabbits caught in the headlights right from the start and never really recovered.
You won every second ball on Sat and created a hatful of chances. You hit the bar 3 times and had one disallowed too. You should be happy you are creating chances really, I'm sure a lot of you would have taken 3-0 at the start of the day. Even when we did have a mini recovery you were still able to cut through us like a warm knife through butter.
Your real tests will be the better teams in the division, but you and Charlton have looked head and shoulders the two teams that should go up automatically this year. You just have to hope you can keep going and that injuries do not occur.
Our tactics were rubbish and we changed things too late. Ballojayi was isolated in the second half and frankly the two centre halves could of had a picnic at the back half the time as we were pretty piss poor in attack.
Got to give Wilson credit for getting your lads fired up for beating the weaker teams. Your city neighbours come to this division and expect to walk over everyone and the reason why they struggle is because they are the team to beat. Now its your turn and you arent making the same mistakes and it should reap the benefits come May.
Oh and if you don't know what a sparkler is then the Howard might just be the best place for you!?
