He 'outclassed' him by an injury time goal. The way some people are going on we lost by a cricket score. Ridiculous degrees of petulance, second guessing and borderline revelling in the despondency of defeat.

 

I think that's very harsh, DJ.

 

Wednesday were rubbish in these semis, and that's the opinion of people I know from all over the country.

 

Most think that we were even worse last night than on Friday.

 

Our team's at least as good as Sunderland's, but Neil never allowed us to show it.

 

It was that, plus our season-long defensive frailties, which ultimately did for us.

 

And it would have been exactly the same against High Wycombe, had they been our opponents.

 

There was nothing surprising about that, and I'm not saying anything different now to what I said before these games were played.

 

The only team I'd have given us any hope against is MK, because they'd have allowed us to play.

 

We weren't outclassed by a vastly superior side and defeated by a cricket score, you're correct, but in a sense that would have been more acceptable.

 

Alex Neil did a tactical job on us, and over two legs Moore couldn't respond.

 

Trying to pretend otherwise is ridiculous IMO.
