I know this might sound false, but I admire your team's performance in the first leg of the final.
Only 13 points loss, playing away AND with lower enthusiasm, this deserves respect. I played the cowboys 3 times this season only to lose by 16, 22 and 23 points.
Your tactic was risked but right, but wht didn't you try any GDP ? You already choose to go with lesser enthusiasm, I think you maight have gambled all the way :)
