Pretty much what I was thinking last night - we did reasonably well in how we played, but they always looked like they had an bit of class that we didn't, especially going forward. Both goals were avoidable though, and as clever as the no. 99 was in setting it up, it just seemed too easy. Stevie Hammell's attempted pass for the 2nd was criminal, but I'd bet no one knows that more than Hammell himself. With a bit of luck, Sutton's header would have given us a glimmer of hope, but wasn't our night (again !), so we need to move on.
As for the season ahead, no rash statements about where we'll finish in the league, but I'm fairly positive about what lies ahead - well pleased with Lawson & Vigurs, and on 1st viewing McManus looks the part and his experience will be invaluable. I like big Sutton, but as said previously, playing up on his own is just pointless. Faddy's Faddy, and you take what you get - the guy has the potential when he gets the ball to make things happen, and whilst it don't always work, the air of expectancy when he gets the ball is why I love watching him play. FWIW, I reckon Vigurs is in the same mould, that he'll have the ability to make things happen.
An additional player or two would be ideal, but in reasonably good shape going forward.
