The only surprise is we scored. Well beaten by a side light-years ahead of us. They will go on to win the league and deservedly so.

We don’t have the personnel to compete with such a side.

McNally has contributed virtually nothing all year. He only shows "intensity" at stupid times, when games are lost, never to set the tone early on.
Looked a bad hit by Jones.
Correct on both counts.

It's such a pity that the rest of the players haven't got an ounce of what Johnathan Phillips has.

As far as I could see, Fox contributed very little. Just stood at the back of the bench looking forlorn. I’m sorry to say it but he has lost all credibility. There is a real crisis for the owner to sort out. Sadly he has not shown a great ability in appointing coaches. Where do we go from here.

I think Fox was probably the right man at the right time, but he's now been a long time out of Europe and now out of touch with the European scene.

Throw into the mix his obvious lack of knowledge of the North American Market and it's a disaster waiting to happen.

The problem is, it's easy to dismiss a coach on the Internet, but who replaces him?

I’d agree completely. I would wager we have a similar budget though.
