I actually didn't care about the result last night. All we need to do is go up! It's about getting results in the big games. The barcodes generally play to home crowds who are among the most fickle around and over 45k at every game. Getting used to that pressure does make a difference.
We lost simply because the manager was unable to install a big game mental attitude, and its not his fault. The difference between £2/3 m players and £7/8 m players is in that odd few % points in mental strength.
I see us going up and coming down a lot richer. Hopefully with an improved squad...
