Alright r*vers fans?
I'm most certainly not gonna gloat but had a couple of comments if you don't mind.
Firstly, fair shout for bringing over 1,000 away fans all that way on a Sunday, cracking effort.
Secondly, I thought we were a tad fortunate to go in level at half time as you looked a good side and we both missed chances in the first 45. In some ways, you reminded me of us last year with the pressing game but I reckon you need to choose when to do it at this level as doing it all the time just knackers your forwards. Lee J has drummed 'triggers' into our forwards so they press as a unit, when those triggers occur. What they are I have no idea but we don't have a constant press.
I must commend you for having a go in the second half but that was probably your undoing. We're blessed with a few rapid players and you did look a tad fatigued in the second 45 when I thought we were excellent. We will play better and lose and, I'm sure you'll play worse and win.
The poster who said it was a bit 'naive' probably had it right as you (like us a few years ago) probably steam rollered teams in L1 whereas you just cannot do that in the Championship.
I think you most certainly won't be in any trouble this season but, like us, probably won't be scaring the top boys too often.
Until the next time, take care all.
