I have never really had a conversation with anyone who was a professional footballer but you have to think that while you go into a game with the hope you could pull off the shock, generally they must think like us and know that once we conceded a couple of quick goals in the second half it was all over!! The difference was that Man City were completely clinical, a yard faster all over the pitch and were able to easily hit us on the break!!
SG has to make sure we learn from this and that the players aspire to be that good, but the reality is if we were to get promoted to the Prem than maybe only 2/3 of our current squad would be in the starting 11 in the prem. Every team that gets promoted pretty much revamps their team, those that don't tend to really struggle and that shows the gulf between us and the prem, you can then add the gulf between the bottom half of the prem and the top 4/5 teams!! That was so obvious tonight, and we shouldn't hang our heads because of it!! Man City will hammer some prem teams let alone us.
