Quote: Staffs FC "It seems there is a fairly clear divide of reaction to yesterday's game between those who went and witnessed the performance and those who didn't.
The support at the game was superb and I'm not surprised that those who went, on the whole, have reacted by backing the team's performance in the aftermath. I left the ground absolutely gutted that Tickle's kick shaved that post the wrong side - we deserved something from the game. It went a bit wrong in the last 10 with knock ons and 4 consecutive penalties against - some for infringements that had gone unpenalised for 70 mins and one when we were in possession at the ptb. But the performance deserved backing from the fans and it sure got that.
To those that didn't make it I'm sorry you missed a good, spirited performance which indicated that hopefully more wins are in the pipeline - should that be something that is of interest. The side will be better balanced with Phelps in hopefully we can kick on now and move up the table.'"
What I'd like to know is if Tickle had kicked that goal would as many people still be ranting on about how we still lost and it's not good enough etc etc. Wish I could have made it, but by all accounts we really pushed the champions and challenged the top side in the comp, something many of us didn't think Hull had it in them.
