I think it did, but it's hard to say whether it's still having an effect now. I think the manner in which we were knocked out may have been a good part of the reason for us destroying teams like we did in december. At that time a wee reality check was needed for some of our players Some were just going through the motions up till the Unirea defeat. Since then we have been brilliant and the OP is right, we don't get enough credit for how well we have played.
