Don'y have much to add. Would really like a confidence booster in the near future.

I've been quite critical of Salloi overall, so this is no surprise to me. TBF to him, he's never pretended to be a physical player and this was a physical match and one in which from about five minutes in looked pretty clearly not to be one in which he was going to add much outside of the possibility of a decent snatched shot here and there. Blessing was getting manhandled, but at least he was hustling defensively, enough to make a difference at points.
On a field that small, in such crappy shape, in a heavy rain, we were never going to look good, though.
We got what we deserved from that match. Only problem really is NYC got three more points than they deserved. that was a steaming pile of a match.

TBF NYC was the only one attacking and should have had more then the one goal scored so the points spread was fair IMO. I was honestly shocked at the play of SKC, I expected at BEST a draw from that game but SKC didn't show up. It seems like they either underestimated NYC or simply got out hustled and gave up early on, shame really because this would have been the easiest game to take 3 points from NYC.

Maybe, my brain won't let me remember that match very well. I believe 0 points for both sides would have been fair (okay, i know, not possible), and refunds for all in attendance and free pizzas for anyone who suffered through it. What I recall is that you are correct in saying NYC was the better side, but they were crap. Just a slightly better grade of crap.
To be fair to them, they came in knowing that would be the case. SKC should have been much, much better.
