Sort of agree with Phill. Even though I shrugged this one of by saying we were better off out of the cup given a defeat by a decent Swansea team at home in the next round, I don't think we should shrug this off as a one off like people having been trying to do with recent results - Northampton and Huddersfield. We were poor and were out battled by a team of pub players. Michelik was praised time and time again for getting to the ball first but when it really mattered he got the wrong side in the box and we're 1-0 down. Basic f*cking defending. Also second half, how many times did they get round the back of us. Basic defending again. Has Rui lost his marbles or what. Also up front, we are toothless without Beckford. It is Beckford who creates all our space, he is the one who creates the space for Becchios tap ins. Without him Bechhio gets no space and suddenly looks like what he is - shit. 'Poor man's Batistua' - I think you're been very , very kind there John.
