KIddy FA cup home

Well the EDP quote was we are going to show them little respect and really go for the game.. umm For the first ten minutes with our new 4-3-2-1 formation we did just that and then the high quality No5 for Kiddy did an old fashioned centre half job on our old fashioned centre forward to neutralise the threat and the game was all but over for us as we all know that Plan B does not really exist.
Still I thought we looked comfortable even with JD off of the pitch but the attack element from the game was more subdued and then came defending that is beyond comprehension at any level out of a primary school gate.They showed just like Cambridge did last year that if you gift them chances they will score them.So beer was sought at 3-0 down from 4 real attempts on goal.Then the second half, did we go for it? Did we heck,even with the introduction of JJ and now with 4 attacking players on the pitch we had no idea against a quality side that could relax in the knowledge that they were in the 1st round of the cup.It looked more liked damage limitation than fighting to get back in the game.
Poor,Poor,Poor and the gulf between the level we are at and where we are aiming for is glaringly wide.We need better players and someone that can get something out of them if we want to achieve anything better than a relegation fight.
I guess the 6 pointer cliche is going to get used in the next couple of weeks with the arrival of Solihull and then the trip to Hucknall.
The natives are more that restless now.
Bloody tin pot cup what a waste of time it really is.
