On a truly awful surface it was always going to be the team that showed the most passion and fight that was going to be victorious - unfortunately for us it was City!! Our performance in the first half can only be described as lazy. We were second to every challenge and weak in our clearances and, despite taking an early lead through Tom Richards, we were never in the game.
3-1 down at the interval some strong words were needed at half time in order to get a reaction from the players. Unfortunately the team talk was interrupted and this disruption, coupled with the continuing inability for the Saints to lift their game, resulted in a final score of 6-2 to City.
This really was a very disappointing performance and the players let themselves down today. There seems to be a "job done" attitude at the moment and as a result games we should be winning are going away from us. This was a "big game" for a number of reasons not least that City are one place below us in the league and the fact that the boys showed little fight or desire to compete is very concerning.
Man of the Match - Tom Richards
