"Chairman and owner Robbie Cowling had inadvertently heaped the pressure on his players'' shoulders in the build-up and - with the eyes of the football world, as well as a packed stadium, on them - the U''s succumbed to the occasion."

I think that article is a major case of clutching at straws!! I love the bit about O''Toole, they only signed him at the start of the window yet his absence is the reason for all of the goals all of a sudden being conceded. Who did his job before his arrival?

I think the article is quite funny, very self pitying and looks like they are preparing for failure.

I was waiting for the bit that said "beaten by a superior team" but I can''t seem to find it amongst the plethora of self pitying excuses!

So badly written it must be one of Camel dungs.[;)]

I can only wonder how that journalist would have spun it had it been us that were soundly beaten. "Cowling wins out in as he rallies his players" " City big boys brought down to earth by English pitch in winter" "U''s benefit from mid winter break"

I have emailed my thoughts to this journalist by clicking on his name (stuart.watson@archant.co.uk) at the top of the article. I would suggest that other fans do not pester the poor chap by posting silly comments to him - that is the last thing he needs at this moment.
