They didn't play the prettiest football but as a complete team they were excellent.
- Organised
- Crisp and precise on the ball
- Niggly, dirty and downright vile off it
- Tactically they all knew what they had to do at all times.
- Took their chances well.
We were the better side until they scored and then they took advantage of our frailties to be comfortable for the rest of the tie, from that point on they were never really in danger of losing the game.
The second half was largely a procession for them, don't let our bad luck with hitting the post fool you.
It's a shame their support was so poor really, good numbers but pretty quiet compared to others and certainly not as good as we are at their place. Oh well, singing doesn't get you points.
If they don't do their usual choke they will be in the top two at the end of the season.
The main difference in personnel? Two good ball playing midfielders. Apparently everyone at the club except Greedy Rat Dein, Fatima Vetere and Young Roy Cropper can see we need one.
A final thought? Weimann is a fecking prick. He's not even any good.
