As a side, we have been giving cheap free kicks away ( in dangerous areas ) for the last 3 seasons now. Main culprits...Stephens, Bruno, Knocky and Solly. A tug here, a nudge there. All petty, unnecessary and lazy stuff. At Championship level, we got away with it much more. There isn't the...
Wasn't it a record for away wins as well, something like 12 or 13? I remember 5-0 at Halifax and 0-0 at HT at Shrewsbury, that turned into a 5-3 win. Don't show CH the stats, he'll have nightmares!!

p.s Been...
Ok. Shambolic was too harsh. I am just venting my frustration at watching us sit back against a very ordinary side, devoid of confidence and not making more of an effort to try and win the game. I understand that it was first and foremost " a must not lose game " but our lack of ambition smacked...
