I cannot talk for the rest of the fan base, but I cannot emphasise enough my personal horror at losing Tronstad before the game. Added to Wharton, Carter, Cantwell and Toth all of whom make up the starting 11 left me completely deflated even before a ball was kicked, I admit it.
Then the game kicked off and nothing I witnessed cheered me up in the slightest, intact it made me realise how grim things are going to be.
