Explaining away a 4-1 defeat, with a selection of reasons, all of which may have a grain of truth in them.

I wasn't talking about RDZ, who made no excuses in his post match interview. I was talking about people on here.

I'm trying to manage expectations. But not doing it very well ! Yes, every team has aberrations. The trouble is, we have had two deeply unpleasant aberrations recently. And we are in danger of falling into the trap of making excuses for failure.

Another wrong decision from you.

We are in the middle of a tough run in. The games are coming thick and fast. Injuries are hitting us hard. But that isn't to say we should blame the run in, the fixture congestion, or the injury list. We should be able to manage this. Just as we congratulate TB and PBOBE for being brilliant...

We all handle losses in different ways. You display your anger, which is an entirely valid response. It's just that I prefer to put things in context. Things could be a lot, lot worse. I reckon I feel better about this loss than you do.

Think back to the Wolves game. Gross and Gilmour were in the middle and ran the show.
