In the end given several players had an 'off' day - Dieng (who must have been affected by his broken nose and man in the iron mask look), Dickie (tired after a tough season - his first at this level), Johansen (gave the ball away several times early in the match) - and no one had a good game until the subs came on, Rs didn't play too badly. They were just up against a very good team who punished our errors.

The starting line up may have been wrong - too little muscle in midfield, but I don't blame the gaffer for trying an attacking line up that had shown real promise - but I thought Warbs subs were spot on and with a but of luck we could have snatched a not really deserved point. Albert yet again gave a master class in crossing and Austin used his guile to get into good positions, but in the end those mistakes cost us.

A word of praise for Northwich

...or even Norwich who have managed promotion, relegation and now promotion again really well, without panic sackings or over-priced buys and kept the core of the team together still playing good football.
