Well we enjoyed the match and performance yesterday but we're not football purists or tactical connoisseurs. We go, as we all ways have, to see our lads give their all, try their best and hopefully outscore the other team, no matter what division we're in. The fact we didn't muster one attempt on goal, goes down to Eddie's tactics and the sheer quality of the opposition. After Wednesday, I can understand the defensive tactics for virtually the whole match, Eddie didn't want a double tonking in 4 days or concede goals in clumps.
What was obvious was everyone gave their all, mentally and physically to the cause, it's not going to do them any harm to think they kept the Man City Allstars down to 1 goal and a couple of other chances. Yesterday was Eddie being pragmatic, accepting who was available and who we were playing.
Wednesday, we had droves of our fans leaving early, people on here confessing to walking out before the end and not feeling apologetic about it. Yesterday, hardly anyone left before the end. Normally against the "Big Six", it's game over after an hour and a steady stream of early risers blocking the "Good Lady's" view for the last 15 mins. Our fans stayed behind the team throughout the match, vociferously for the most part, so a lot of them must have appreciated what they saw and thought/hoped we might still nick something right up to the last kick.
It's a paradox/perversity that we came away feeling entertained having lost at home and not had a shot : )
