However, the team overall deserve credit for our best ever season and for finishing in the play-offs. Although todays whipping was disappointing and embarrassing, there are some good things to come out of it:
1. If we are serious about signing Barry Roche, I think fewer other teams will now be interested, so hopefully he will now sign for us.
2. If we did go into League One, todays kind of result would possibly have been more frequent.
3. This is just one bad result after a string of amazing wins, it may spell the end of our season, but not the end of the world, the team or the club. These things happen. We need to learn from it.
4. We seriously missed Stanners great form of late today, particularly in set pieces and his energy in midfield.
5. We have one extra last night match with a full house at our beloved Christie Park than we were really expecting, and we will be able to go on the pitch this time.
6. If, IF, we manage to get a couple of early goals on Thursday night, it could make an interesting game.
7. The performance and result today were terrible, but we do have a chance on Thursday to rectify that. In as much as it is unlikely we'll win by 6 goals, if we did IT WILL BE ONE HELL OF A MATCH NOT TO MISS!!!!
Remember Crewe....Anything is possible after that !
I just hope that the management learn something from today and don't put it down to 'just one of those games'. It's been on the cards that it would happen...and unfortunately it was in such an important game.
Except the most we ever went behind against Crewe was by 2 goals not by 6!
