We were shite for 90% of the game. If I were Warnock I'd have said.. They are bottom of the league and low on confidence.. Get out there and play at 100 miles an hour for the first 15 mins, batter em, if you scores one, you'll score 2 or 3, then you can coast for 70 mins and still come off to rapturous applause. Instead they came out and looked fucking clueless as per usual. Passing dire, defence looked uncomfortable and when we hoofed it upfront it was the usual, wrong pass or miscontrol (becchio) I heard Warnock on the radio saying he thought we were terrific in the 2nd half.. Well 2 points I'd like to make Neil... Firstly, I paid for 90 mins entertainment nor 45, so can I have 1/2 my money back (take it out their wages for not turning up first half) Secondly.. If you thought they were terrific in the 2nd half, then you are a fucking idiot who knows as much about football as I do about thermo dynamics (I know fuck all about thermo dynamics) We were marginally better in the 2nd half, but rarely raised our game above 3rd rate. I won't rate the players.. But.... Byram diouf and barkley showed flashes of class, mcCormack and Austin were decent, except for Kenny, were poor. So half the team were decent the rest dragged us down to an average team, the managers tactics dragged us down further to a truly poor championship side...

I recall reading an article a few months ago (can't remember where or by whom) taking all the Championship teams one by one. By this time we had dropped from our higher league position earlier in the season and the thinking was that this was no great surprise as many of our games had been on a knife edge and a single goal decided it. Nothing really wrong with that except that we sail so close to the wind all the time and can't really look back at games we've won with style. I would so much prefer to be drawing or even losing games having played well as this usually shows a great future. As the clichés say "If you keep doing the right things it will eventually pay you back" or something like that. Problem is, we don't! It's the huff and puff and long ball stuff we seem to hear about all the time. 2 wins out of 2 would normally be a good omen (and it may still be) but when a team is disjointed and lacks direction, that will also find you out.

Now if I'd have written that I would get deluged by folk saying 'come in we're not Barcelona' and that's 2 wins in 2. Can't ask anymore than that can you?
