The more I think about it, the worse I think it is.
For a team which is aspiring to be one of the top 12 in the country, to be out of all three cups before Christmas is terrible. We have shown, several times now, that we cannot kill off a game that we control.
The next time we are in a knockout situation, maybe even a penalty shoot-out, could well be in the promotion playoffs. On the basis of our cup runs - by then, distant experiences - what confidence could we have?
With Gardyne gone and Duku a dud, we desperately need to strengthen the attack. The defence is fine.
