Yes, agree with all of this - you wouldn't have guessed we were the team without pressure

I love Big Phil with all my heart but surely the whole point of managing players' minutes was so they'd be ready for this match. I see the argument that the team that started at Millwall had earned another go, but really we needed to be able to take the game to them more. The refereeing was bad but we'd have lost either way - we certainly didn't play to the strengths of our attackers, even after the subs.

Only highlights were Onel popping up in the Lower Barclay and saying hello to the visiting fash, and Scabby the Rat getting hooked for being a weird little dickhead. A test of where Phil and the squad are at - confirmed where the weaknesses are, if we get two or three summer signings right then it'll look far better.
