Job done , no injuries , players rotated , youngsters getting game time against Champs league opponents , decent crowd , and only BT sport made an issue of the defeat , TEN of those players would not have started tonight if we had played our fully fit squad available , perspective is required , we ticked all the boxes tonight apart from a narrow meaningless defeat We are through to the quarter finals , Spuds are not , Chavs will not and the Rags may not get through , and maybe a bit of credit to Basle thought they came with an excellent attitude and with some good support . Not gonna start digging out individual performances , there were too many changes to produce a cohesive game and it ended up all a little disjointed. All our big players will be fit , fresh and well rested for the Stoke game , so not the disasterous night BT Sport are trying to promote .
