In a word, NO! I suppose we could give them the benefit of the doubt and say it's a confidence issue, but I think that is being overly generous.

We gave away cheap possession today, nobody looked like they wanted the ball and we were underhitting five yard bloody passes.

I don't think it's a secret that the players we have aren't good enough. The difference is a poor side that battles and fights and gives their all can still achieve results. (3-3 against Totton for example) Today, they didn't fight, they didn't even look interested and that shows up the shortcomings all the more.

Danny Lane actually looked a decent bet at centre back until the sending off, although I actually think he could have gone for the first challenge. Meaker though, might be 38 but you don't lose quality and he's got it.

If we had two or three experienced heads that could nurture the rest of them we might have half a chance, but we have zero experience on that pitch.

I am quite depressed tonight, lots of carling and miserable wallowing ahead.
