We're looking very good..... They are literally work class. We have had more opportunities and quality ones at that.

This is how it will play out though like against most top sides..... Or something like it.

We'll do well for 70 minutes and then get knackered (you can see the levels dropping off slightly last few minutes).... We'll then concede and either have a shot of adrenalin and something magic will happen or we'll get a couple go in against us.

They have a like for like bench.... 5 pairs of fresh legs if they want. Obviously brought in to benefit the top sides in every match in the first place

Honestly not sure what people are expecting.

We are doing brilliant. Mot.

(Edit: That is world class..... Tired legs defending against the ball)

Sigh

Aaronson lost the ball, should have booted it.

Stach and Rodon lost the runners.

Been coming we've looked knackered last 15-20

DCL and Aaronson needed to make more of their chances (especially DCL)

Carved open.

Not much we could do.

Could not have happened at a worse time but guessed it might after that early miss by DCL!

Indeed SG. Damage limitation. But we might just nick a draw you never know.

Is it just me, or has DCL gone off the boil recently?
