Ill Wind Blows No Good

Unfortunately this was the first game of the season that I wasn't able to see, but in the immediate afternath, you can't help feeling like we're back at square one. Just as we began to celebrate the return to defensive stability, we conceded another three (soft) goals. And all the while our long wait for a Premiership away win (22 Oct 2005) and our long wait for a goal from any player other than Bent D/Bent M/Hasselbaink (17 April 2006) both continue.

There isn't an awful lot more I can say - it almost feels worse because it sounded like we actually played quite well. There's always a team that goes down playing like that and we need to ensure it's not us.
