Not sure I'm that disappointed, given our lack of options in midfield at the moment.
The gulf in spending power was very obvious with the relative substitutions.
We made up for it mostly in the first half through sheer effort, but were bound to run out of steam.
Whilst SU were clearly the better side, they weren't creating a lot, but that cheap free kick was a sickener. Osborn won the ball and their player deliberately made sure he was going down by hooking his foot into ours.
We didn't defend it well enough, then looked like we were defeated from then on.
A bit disappointed with Zetterstrom's kicking late on, our only chance at an equaliser was running in behind. Needed to kick ball out wide to prevent their huge centre half heading it straight back, but Z couldn't get the timing right.
Interesting that SU paid us enough respect that they were the ones time-wasting at the end, and their fans were horrible, but then SU is never a nice place to go.
