There’s more to football than winning. There’s also enjoying watching it as well and that ethos seems to have gone of the window over the years. Watching last night was like sticking pins in my eyes. I don’t usually react either way to a good or bad performance as I try to stay off the emotional merry-go-round but last night was too much. It was laughable it was that bad. The good points were Hume’s obvious ability, energy and drive. After that I’m struggling to find a positive thing to say. Once again, the sending off drained the energy from the side. There was no direction, plan, energy or apparent interest just aimless passing and swanning around. Having an extra man was negated by Tunnicliffe playing as if he wasn’t on the pitch. Aimless ten yard backward and sideways passes played when he had space to move forward. He hardly broke into a jog all night, stood out on the right wing and left the centre of the field to LT who might as well have been playing there on his own. Cowley had the whole of half time to work out what to do and we end up struggling to get any efforts on their goal. I just feel sorry to watch those hardy souls dragging themselves up there on a Tuesday night in February to be offered that sort of garbage.
