Normally I get quite frustrated at MW's positive interviews after a defeat, but today I genuinely don't think you can fault the players. A lot of them had a bit of an off day but they genuinely did give it everything and just came up short.
It’s not about effort! You could grab 11 lads off the street and I’m sure they’d try as hard as they could for 90 minutes, surely that’s a given and nothing to celebrate. The issue was the lack of bravery to play the way we can rather than just hoofing it long at every opportunity.
I'm not saying we should be sat here celebrating a 4-1 loss, but I'm also saying we shouldn't start slagging off the team that's got us into this position. These are good players, but sadly Stockport, Wrexham and Mansfield are just better than us. They're in the top 3 because they are simply the best 3 teams in the league - and a level above everyone else. When you have an off day against a team that's better than you, this is what happens.
