How good are our experts, truly? What was this efficiency tonight?' "And they'll be actually examining their colleagues and examining where it went wrong, so they have actually merely acquired 6 or even seven days to butter up as well as have to go once more. They have actually still acquired an opportunity in this particular season-- their season is not lifeless-- but they're visiting have to play far better footy than they performed tonight."
