that was abysmal, after a fairly even first 30 minutes.
Summed up by saying that every time we got the ball we were surrounded by 4 or 5 players. When Barton got the ball they were surrounded 4 or 5 yards of space.
Derek had an absolute mare - i suspect Barton deliberately targeted him.
The only decent performance was from Rocco, but even then he ran into dead ends and didn't really produce anything.
i won't go overboard as I strongly suspect this was a reaction to Saturday's mental and physical efforts, which i understand was an outstanding performance.
However it's ultimately futile to play brilliantly against top teams, picking up occasional points, whilst then losing poorly to the teams around and below us. That only leads 1 way, and it ain't upwards!
I'd also question the constant playing of 3 or 4 overweight players; it was embarrassing how Barton swept through us time and time again.Quite a birthday present - certainly will be 1 I won't forget 
Another difficult game on Saturday - which AUFC will turn up?
Suspect others may be a bit harsher than I
