They were bigger, stronger and had the guile needed to stop teams playing. Everytime we started to build anything they kicked it out, slowed it down or broke it up, it wasn't that we didn't turn up, they pretty much kicked us back onto the bus and would probably have kicked the bus as it left if allowed.
Add into that, two/three strikers who know where the goal is and have the pay packet to match then you've got the recipe for getting out of this division.
We were beaten by the better team today, we needed to be on top of our game, they didn't let us, no complaints.
We'll still be here when they go pop and Yates moves on with the others to their next pay packet project.
