I'm gonna get a lot of 'disagrees' on this but I actually think they were trying to hard and lacked composure. More games to gel would help a lot.

I finally watched the Twerp game on delay yesterday (no I’m not getting up in the middle of the fkin night to watch Europe group) and it was nowhere near as bad as was painted.

While the players who came in were too passive, almost waiting for the opposition to come out and leave spaces, the game was decided by a ridiculous error which threw the game plan out.

One or two of those hauled off were only guilty of feeling their way back in but I do like the way Jose sets very high standards of performance and it will be very interesting to see if any of them show more dynamism from the start in Bulgaria.

That performance, or more accurately lack of it, was due to attitude not ability of the players selected.
- We were exposed (ability) against a very good side. A disjointed 11 and a lack of respect from JM with the side he chose. Sorry no excuses-they were well organised and we weren't.
