I posted a little earlier on the match thread, but would just add that having watched football for many years, excuses for losing whether it be the opposition's tactics or the referee I tend to ignore and look at the bigger picture on how my team has played, the way in which they have passed the ball, how they have played as a team, individual performances and the way that they could improve by either introducing new players or playing them in different positions.
I am not making excuses for yesterday, we were pretty poor and can't argue with the result, we lost and there will be others in the course of the season, not too many I hope.
