We were shocking today, we lacked the movement, pace and penetration of the previous matches, but I tend to agree that it is hopefully a one off. What fustrated me the most was how we seemed to by pass midfield by continually lumping the ball up to Dublin. Connolly was anonymous, very disappointed by his contribution, didnt seem as lively as previous games.
The whole team seemed a little flat, maybe even a little tired, this is where the injuries will bite, CL would probably have liked the opportunity to freshen things up but at the moment his options are limited.
However I refuse to press the panic button, whilst we were poor today, we have shown enough in the other matches to show what this team is capable of and the levels of performance expected. This was one game, and whilst it was fustrating I see no reason for the fickle boneheads to start their Levein Out campaign. We still have a number of players to come back to full fitness like Gerrbrand, Kisnorbo and Hughes, once these players are back this will increase the options and competition for places. I am also heartned to hear CL's comments, he acknowledges we were awful, he is not hiding behind excuses, I fully expect a positive response from the players and who better to get the full force of a City backlash than Peter Taylor !
