Defeat an accident waiting to happen

IT’S ALWAYS hard to lose a game, but to lose to arguably the worst Liverpool side for decades (with only a couple of players excused from that description) is depressing.

I have been concerned with our away form for some time and I’m afraid that the result Sunday didn’t come as a surprise to many fans.

This ploy of standing off teams for an entire half makes no sense. We have gotten away with it on a couple of occasions more through luck than judgement, but one win in our last four league away ties tells its own story.
