First the most obvious question - how can we draw with a full strength Tottenham side for nearly 120 mins and then lose days later to Birmingham so convincingly?
When youre playing the team at the top of the table, after 120 gruelling minutes just days before what do you really need? A **** ref. Absolutely appalling. Dirty Brum players getting away with a telling off if the ref even noticed. His ineptitude for the first goal...perhaps even made the difference, from then we were always chasing the match 1 became 2, and that was it, all spirit and fight had gone from the team. A dire ref who made the stewards look nervous in the first half.
Freddie's substution cheered. Possibly he was tired after Wednesdays match, and he was marked all the time, most of our best moves ended with Freddie losing possesion.
McCormack for me was man of the match, even though he didnt finish the match. His first touch as he caught the ball before shooting it just wide in the first half was impressive.
You can tell it wasnt our day when Sodje has a bad game.
The Tilly critics of his substitutions could have had a field day when he made 3 changes at once. Players who had had limited roles on Weds looked fresh, and we played more attacking football (granted the game was all but over by then).
Nice to see Adam Barrett sign autographs for most of half time, even though he's not in the side he wasnt sulking like some players have done.
Mass exodus of fans at 4-0. A further mass exodus after the announcement of 3 mins stoppage time.
Lightest moment of the match? The Brum shot which hit a window of the flats behind the South Stand.
Predicted 4 points from the last 3 games, and was proved right.
