We were never going to win with that line up.

2 out-and-out wingers left a midfield of Tetts, Rupp and Dowell.
Given that we normally play with a 5 man midfield (Mayor, Skipp, Emi, Todd, Vrancic) there was no way was that ever going to be good enough to control the play in midfield, especially given they were all short of match fitness.
It was always going to be a defend and break quickly down the flanks tactic for us. It didn't work.
Never mind.
