A bravura, and successful, attempt at squeezing some optimism from that second half.

Getting to and from the ground was worse than ever yesterday.
Even getting into Town was horrendous, I came from the West and was stuck on Bath Row for 25 mins and it was just as bad for my mates coming in from the East side.
The late KO meant everywhere in Town was rammed by the time we got there, then taxis were few and far between. It was the same post match, the outside bar at the Heart wasn't open so there was no chance of getting served inside. Getting an Uber was hit and miss, mainly miss.

And the trains were no better looking at this.

I think Emery would be happy with that article. Efficient, to the point, and did what it needed to do.
