Would perhaps be an apt caption for the photo on the front page. However jokes aside our players need to be aware that they will face far more 'robust' tackles in L1 than the Championship. Downes headbutt was not a reckless tackle it was an assault, which you have to think would warrant a court appearance if it was in a pub, shop, on a plane etc. However I suspect this was one rash act by one player and the rest of the squad, and Downes, will no be riled up to retaliate again as the tackle will not be the focal point, it is now the head butt. If we want to be better than the lower leagues we have to show it, by not getting dragged down to their level for one thing. | |
