Still credit to you, how do you reckon you'll do next season? I mean Vorm is bound to leave, and without him you would be 13th-16th lets be honest, he has bailed you out non stop this season even if outfield you've been very good.

So what about the risk of losing Vorm, Sigurdson, Sinclair and Dyer though? No way will other clubs leave you be in the summer.

I wouldn't bother. Other than a superb free kick from Leighton Baines, there was very little else of any quality on show.

You're right, it certainly hasn't but enjoy it while you have a decent team because there's only so far a small club aka Wales' second city can go. Will you be watching by the way?

Nope. It was ugly enough this afternoon. Certainly won't be putting myself through it again.

So did Stoke, Bolton and Fulham. We beat all three.
It's not as simple as just pressing high up the pitch or else every team would do it. Everton were sharper than us, and closed down space all over the pitch.
That said, we dominated the first 30 mins before they started to get to grips with things and they needed a free kick to break the deadlock. After that it was a different game.

To be honest I'd need to watch a few more of your matches all the way through before I really had any idea how to counter it.
Also, as much as it may shock and amaze everyone, I'm not a professional football manager so I may not be right

Bottom line is Everton were better than us in the second half. For us to win games in this league we need to be fully on our game. a combination of us not quite being at our level and Everton disrupting our passing game nullified any threat we had and once the free kick went in, there was only one winner.
Full credit to Everton.

Fair enough, but I still think that that is the way to take you on. Teams that try to play possession against you themselves seem to just end up being embarrassed.

I agree to an extent but generally when we've been on our game we've more often than not been able to deal with it. It certainly causes more problems than just sitting back and letting us play but it also leaves gaps for us to exploit.
