For me Cas lost that game for 2 reasons, 1st they have no plan B close Chase down and you close Cas down, I know for a fact Powell worked all week on closing him down it worked to a treat. 2nd was over confidence very nearly arrogance not 1 Cas fan thought there was a cat in helllls chance you could lose to us, highlighted by the easy chant after the 1st try, this obviously worked its way to the players. This was also obvious with the way the players got frustrated late on when it dawned on them they might just lose. Might just give you all a kick up the backside, never underestimate your opponent
Can't argue with that to be honest. I think going the length of the field in the first set and scoring in the next led the players to believe it would be easy, when it was never going to be. The bit I would contest is the comment about not one Cas fan thinking we couldn't lose it - I believe my first words when I heard the draw were something along the lines of "Poop we're out!" As potential banana skins go, that was a massive one, and it came to fruition.
It'll be interesting to see how Fev get on this week...
