The dust has settled; our run of form that had seen us establish, for ourselves, a new Premier League record is over.
A second half capitulation saw it surrendered so meekly that it would have been so easy to have been lost for words afterwards.
Perhaps just melting away into the East End night to resurface another day might well have been the apt thing to do.
But, rules are rules and the protocol insists somebody must address the press at the post match conference.
Therefore, it wasn`t really a surprise to hear our very own Roy Hodgson bemoan the manner in which we conceded three soft goals, all defensive errors, causing Roy to remark,
“There`s no need to talk about the goals we gave away – all three were blatant mistakes and I just hope we`ve used up our full quota for the whole season in one game.”
So do we Roy but we wouldn`t bank on it!
