Sean fair point about the quality of opposition but I think your point about poor quality officials is contradictory. The worst the officials the less offside decisions you make them have to make in my view. It appears that we pushed up to press their midfield perhaps cos of their reputation as a footballing side. If we had watched them previously it would have been clear they are not a decent side and caused most of our problems through set pieces. Maynard was wrongly given offside a few times and on anther day Huntington could have walked for the foul he got away with when he was last man. I accept if we had been given the blatant pen and they had been down to 10 men we would have gone on to win easily but we must not rest on our laurels. regards Phill MOT
