Rest is history. Point is, composure was needed from the leaders and it wasnt there, especially Doc. Sounds harsh and critical, that's the reality, we never should have lost that game like that.
I don't disagree with that, as i said earlier. Just saying that Port were given a leg up of sorts.
We SHOULD be good enough to win from there. But, at this stage, i'm just happy that we are in that position.
Thats our 4 game from our last 6 that has been decided by 3 points or less. The only other games was Dogs last week (Flogged them) and saints who won by 3 goals.
That kind of experience we get from being in that position will only help us in the future.
In case you've forgotten. We haven't exactly been in many winnable positions over the past 3 years, so its still a bit of a learning experience.
