I agree about the performances Kev they could be better, the European game was a one off knockout and with 70% we restricted Riga to one chance, the fear of being knocked out would have been high up in the players minds and apart from one time no one tried a killer pass, although with a fleet of Latvian buses in front of them it was difficult to get forward momentum.
My reply to McGarrell was a light attempt at humour, but I do think that ( not just on this forum) the reaction to an away win in Europe by some posters was disappointing at best and ridiculous continued slaughtering of some of our players at worst.
For what its worth my own opinion is, we won but could have played better, although if we went gung ho at Riga we would have been picked off imho. And I do think Neil picks the wrong team now and then but he is probably as worried as the rest of us fans about the outcome of this season, so I will still trust his judgement over keyboard management teams any day of the week.
