After last week’s last minute winner we were on the other side of it today. That’s the ups and downs of football for you.  Blues got a gift early on with a comedy own goal and played well in the first half.  However as the match went on we seemed to sit further and further back in an attempt to hold onto the one goal advantage.  This was fine until Damien Duff hit a screamer.  McFadden was unlucky that his equally impressive attempt came back off the underside of the bar although I think that the keeper got a touch.  As for their winner I thought that our wall could have been set up better but again it was a good strike.

I thought McFadden played OK in the role that I think he is best suited to.  Being stuck out on the left doesn’t really make the best use of his talents.  I’m a bit worried that our league season is in danger of fading out a bit after such a good start.  I don’t mind if the team concentrates a bit on the cup but it would be disappointing if we now finish 14th although I would have taken that at the start of the season.  We really need to return to winning ways next week and I think that the it might be time to refresh the team a bit.  I hope Barry Ferguson’s injury isn’t too bad.

Overall a dissapointing result today as before the game I would have taken a point at a a ground where few visiting teams get a victory.
