agreed

and to some extent that's because the players aren't quite good enough - so we have to concentrate on one thing or the other. In the last few games the balance has been quite good on the other hand. It's just that when the chances have come .... we've missed them. And given how few chances you get at this level, the outcome is pretty inevitable. It's no disgrace to let in a single goal against these teams.
