Only time will tell whether this defeat affects our performance in the playoffs but it's fair to say playing the first teams didn't help other teams. Boro lost Ramirez but go up so no damage done there, Brighton lose Stevens for the remainder of the season and Derby lost Thorne to a broken leg. I suppose it's a thin line between resting and protecting the first 11 and losing some momentum!
