Considering all circumstances, I don't believe that that was a bad result yesterday.
Well documented issue with the pitch. A bit of roughhousing from the Livi. Some dubious refereeing decisions with regard interpretation and an energy sapping game on Thursday.
We will play far worse and win games this season.
I cannot emphasise enough the transition required from playing in an intense big match, with a big performance, and an even bigger result.
As fans, we were buzzing - so you can only imagine the pumped-up adrenaline levels coursing through the Bhoys post-match and all day Friday.
After a match like Thursday where we burned it - there is the inevitable crash. Especially when you have to pick it up again for a Sunday lunchtime game which has the obvious luggage attached to it.
For a number of reasons, this season is going to be all about making "the inches" in good old-fashioned Al Pacino style (Any given Sunday).
Yesterday represents an inch gained.......I would have preferred a yard, but as any of us bhoys will proudly tell you, an inch can make an enormous difference.
That's a tricky game negotiated and we're setting the pace now. We have proven to be excellent frontrunners, so let the chase begin.
