Disappointed. I thought we played well enough over the two legs for the tie to at least be in the balance.
Seemed like everything went against us in both matches - be that unlucky deflections, penalty non-awards and misses, or just conceding at absolutely the worst times - we never got the rub of the green once in 180 (or closer to 200) minutes.
We started calmly and controlled yesterday, looked confident and threatening enough to affect the result, then got done on the break by a goal that one of our best players will feel he should've done better with.
And yet, I still felt if we get one back before half time, effectively 0-0 on the night and come at like we did at the start of the match, we're still in this. Be it Cash getting half a metre further forward for that ball across the box or Bailey's fizzing strike getting looped into the net (or perhaps not blocked at all) like their crap goal in the first game did, nothing at all would fall for us.
We didn't get that goal before half time, and we didn't come out like we did at the start of the first half. The tie was over.
I had a dream at some point this morning that we were one nil down and everyone thought it was over, got a goal back on about 85 mins, then another on 90 with 8 of injury time added. with 96 on the clock, we get a corner, and it's converted directly into the net (didn't we used to see those all the time?), but the ref had already blown the whistle for something about nothing in the box. We still lost. I'm thankful it didn't play out that way at least.
