That 2nd half showed the gulf between the Championship and top 6 of the Prem. We gave up.. lost our interest but at least came out with no apparant injuries. It is down to SG to pick them up. Draw on Saturday would do me. Put that one behind us but also shows what could happen if we got promoted too quickly.
To be fair I am not sure they gave up after the goals started flying in!! Remember we went down to 10 men for the last half an hour and still tried to play some decent football, we just didn't have the ability to achieve anything at that point!!
As regards getting promoted too early, what this shows is that when you do get promoted you have to be prepared to spend the forthcoming TV etc money straight away to be able to maybe survive!! Gone are the days of saying well done to the team that got you there by offering them pay rises and new contracts, now its a case of thank you and here's your P45 for a lot of them!!!
