Basically the 1st half performance cost us the game and the whole team were responsible. Yes Brez made error for 1st goal as did the defending and it was a fluke goal so it worked against us. The team just did not perform in 1st half but credit to 2nd half performance and if that little bit of luck Dunks shot off underside of bar would of bounced in and really the game could of been all square. We deserved better for the 2nd half show but giving a prem side a 2 goal lead was suicidal.

UEFA for making us play on a Monday so as not to interfere with their precious ****ing Champions League.

I voted just to see what others thought as I hold no anger at our exit, just disappointment that we couldn't quite do it. I voted for Leo though in a purely objective fashion as if that header had gone in 2-0 at half time would have been enough at the Amex I reckon. That said, he's the best striker we've had since Zamora IMHO, possibly one of our best 3 ever since I've been watching the Albion (that's since the early 70's).

Our ball retention wasn't good enough. I blame the ball boys.

The referee in the first match, coz when they scored their equalizer the ball should have been down the other end of the pitch in the first place after Solly March was flattened by their defender.
Oh and Peter Breznovan too :bigwave:

Other : Hull City Tigers.

Spot on. The reason we lost is because we came up against a side who are better than us, as you would expect considering they're halfway up the PL and we are on the verge of the play-offs in a division below.

In any case it shouldn't be about apportioning blame, it's about learning from the defeat to make us stronger going forwards.

Other - Hull City for having a better squad than us with faster, stronger players (and also in a way Sky and the premier League too because of the money in the top flight meaning clubs like Hull can afford to have these types of players on their books)
 


First NSC poll that blames Oscar? Interesting development
