No AJ. We expected a thrashing yesterday and the first half performance was quite encouraging. I'd be more concerned about losing at home to Bury who, although a good side, came up with us and we didn't manage to score. We now have a key player back and our strike duo have still to click. Early days.
The pressure they put on us in the first half wore them out. Macclesfield did it last season and we came out the winners. I was surprised to see him playing long ball tactics and actively encouraging it.
Being charitable, I think they were using the swirling wind - we did struggle under some high balls in that first half.
thanks ron, we are not walking the league yet, but may be perumambulating the carling cup, until 20.9.11 and perhaps beyond, depends which bunch of jesse's arsene puts out, if he is still there then. floreat salopia
