Quote: Staffs FC "Fair enough. I guess a firing FC put 18 points on without reply in the last 20 thankfully so all was well.
In general it's not unusual for FC fans to try to find ways of playing down a win or finding reasons why it wasn't a very good win so to speak. I'm not sure the big team's fans are that bothered if they have a scratchy result - they just move on to the next game. Not aiming this at you specifically but it's noticeable that FC fans like to play down a victory if at all possible. We were poor for 50 mins tonight as were Leeds but imagine how many games that other sides play in that are the same. I'm not sure they worry as much about how bad the opposition were as we seem to do.'"
Appreciate that point, I'm just not wanting to get carried away by tonight as Leeds are on a poor run and the first half was not good.
I'm not actually saying that the defences were bad, just that the opportunities were there for both sides to score good points both first and second half. Cough up that much possession, position, and a few penalties against a top side and usually they'll have the execution to make you pay, it takes impeccable defence to hold out.
