The frustration for me last night was the fact that I think we have some good players who can play clever attacking football and they have shown it in some games to good effect. I am at a loss to understand how those same players then lose the ability to do the basics like controlling the ball, passing accurately, closing the opposition down and playing at a high tempo. Also why did it affect all of the team in the same game? It was almost as if Saturday had taken a lot out of them, they were so lethargic, thus making Southport look like a decent side who wanted it more than us. Even the usually vocal Doig on the touch line gave up and sat down. No-one on or off the pitch seemed capable of changing anything.
