Definitely beaten by the better team...

... but everybody could see from early on that we were being outclassed and ultimately outnumbered in midfield, and Lambert didn't do anything about it til he brought Bennet and Pilkington which was too late.

I can't help but wonder that we could have at least got a goal if we had made that change a lot earlier.
