I said prior to the match if we were going to play you now was the best time, and it's been ultimately shown to be correct. You're a squad still smarting from the loss of your talismans and finding their feet, and I suspect eventually you will click. We've had as many changes to our squad as most but it's not the same, we've not replaced anyone who was the heart of the team and being written off by loud mouths probably helped stoke some fires too.
Some interesting posts here, particularly about the pitch. Two teams playing on it under the same conditions, we've had a few seasons on it now and have been just fine so if it's not causing us an injury crisis, it shouldn't be to your team during one match. Incredibly rich blaming that.
