It felt like a defeat when we walked out of the ground last night. Looking back with 12+ hours to reflect, I feel that the team deserve a lot of credit for last night. We so nearly pulled off a surprise win, after our rotten run.
Anyone who says they're not motivated should have seen the reaction of the players when they raced over to us after the goal - they were absolutely buzzing. They have clearly been told to hump it long when given the chance, and that tactic nearly did work last night.
Wasn't happy with Slade's formation, but the individual performances were mostly quite encouraging. DKE and Turnbull justified their recalls, although the feeling was that Haynes was a bit hard-done-by to drop out. Kwame looked a real handful at times but he was wasted on the left. Reilly had a decent game too, and Jones is absolutely screaming to start games now, especially if he has Yak to run off. On this basis, I feel confident that we'll be able to win a few before the end of the season.
