Seriously, we gave it a bloody good go. County fans are a bloody sight happier tonight than United fans are.
Last couple of weeks we have had an indication of what our town and our club can achieve. Hopefully this is the start not the end.
Don’t entirely agree mate, we showed them far too much respect early on so we left ourselves a mountain to climb. I’d have had that boy on the left writhing in the first couple of rows of the Compeed crying for his mother just to let him know he was in the Port,
I do agree, however, that it shows we should aspire to bigger and better things!
Evening Mike,
My view is at varience with yours there. I thought Coughlan's game plan was to press high with the two wing backs. Unfortunately Manchester United simply played through us with pace and their finishing in the first 15 minutes was clinical. I get the point about a few robust tackles but I think early yellows or God forbid an early red would have sunk us.
We got a wonder goal which kept us in it and changing to a back four and the early second half goal shook United. For fifteen minutes or so we had them on the rack. Still it's all about opinions.
Sorry to hear about your experience in the stand. I'm afraid that this +1 with ticket sales really was a bad idea. I hope it never gets repeated.
Still lets hope for at least 6,000 v Swindon.
