Last Match Forum - 17/05 Southampton (A - Play-Offs 2nd Leg) / Re: After Match Debate
« Last post by hardtobeat on Today at 10:48:18 AM »Our season ended last night because we lost to a better team that had better players and better squad depth, Bazunu , Rothwell, Adam’s ,Stewart barely got on the pitch over the 2 games and all would probably be starters for us as an example.
There should be no recriminations,no vendettas against individuals we have gone from bottom of the league to 5th of 24 in a season and half mostly under the ownership of somebody that didn’t give a jot about us or the club!
Mistakes both individual and collective have been made along the way of course they have but some of the comments I’ve seen on the way back last night and again this morning are utterly disgraceful and disrespectful to players and management.
As for the game itself at H/T I genuinely thought we may be able to nick it despite having been under the cosh for most of the half . Unfortunately one misplaced pass too many just after the break cost us dearly and put them in control from then on it was always going to be a struggle and so it proved . Reverting to the team that beat Leicester didn’t work because Southampton ere more of a pressing team than Leicester and didnt let us play out and get any momentum going forward .
Easy in hindsight but the starting XI wouldn’t have been what I would have started with but hey ho !
The close season could be interesting under new ownership and with many out of contract and a few more we’d probably like to move on so I’ll see you back at The Shrine come August , C’mon You Baggies !
