I think if we'd have tried to shut up shop, sit back and absorb the pressure we'd have conceded. Ings was a machine today, and so was Redmond. They're actually a decent team, and the only way to nullify them would be to attack them. I think Potter got it spot on, but it didn't work out.
Pisser that Stephens went down on his wrist and was out of play by the dugouts when they got their first. Could he have made a difference and stopped the first goal if he'd have been on the pitch? Who knows..
I might have said yes, and if we had been torn apart after going down to 10 it would be a fair thing to argue.
Fact is we kept trying to play our way with 10 men, and we were pretty great, even against 11. The thing is with 10 players they got more tired more quickly, that seemed to hurt us towards the end.
I was really impressed that we were able to dominate at times even with them having a man advantage. Good stuff.
