I have plenty of confidence that we can still kick on into the play offs and give it a good shot of old trafford.
The difference is we are fans and want to see our team flying high all the time. For a player who played and lost in a huge final, doubts about how capable the side are and if they are good enough...it all starts creeping in. Also, the emotional drain of the week leading up to the final and the day itself. Takes a hell of alot of you.
All of us on here know full well that the Giants are good enough, the players should too but we can't underestimate the effects this loss could potentially have. Look at the record of the previous three or four losers in the cup final. All have gone on to lose at least their next two league games and in our case I believe we lost our next three.
