Despite all the talk of Jack Black's team suddenly finding form, turning it round, etc. etc. the only two scalps of note they have claimed in their recent unbeaten run was Wigan and us, and in both cases the defeated team discovered more ways to shoot themselves in the foot than a rifle salesman with a twitch.
They are a poor team and tonight, for the first time in a few months, the free gifts largely dried up (despite another knock-on fest), and when left to rely on a gameplan, ability and verve, they came up short.
And frankly, it was hugely amusing.
