Personally, I thought Thomas was our main threat and seems to be playing with a lot of confidence at the moment. Often faced with two or three in front of him he made something happen. A little spark in a largely forgetable game?

The News of World had a go at Carson, saying "his kicking often lets him down".
Admittedly I had a few jars before the game, but I don't remember him kicking much....
We looked both rusty (many short passes going astray) and tense...just like the crowd....
WE never looked like scoring, and hey how many games have we ended up losing because of a reffing descision.
Take the 3 points, as Ketman says, that's all that matters....
Though I gotta say this was the first game I've seen in ages SOBER.....it's not nice and I assure you it won't be happening again....
I was the only one chanting EASY EASY as I left the East Stand...
