I think you're being less than kind to Curzon. They were far better than we saw at their place, and certainly gave us a tougher test than many clubs who've been to Moss Lane this season.
Maybe I’m being overly harsh, but I thought, ability wise, Curzon looked every bit a side near the bottom of a regional league. But would agree that’s a step up from what they looked on Boxing Day, when they would have struggled to survive at EvoStik level.
On New Year’s Day they did at least expose our vulnerability against balls into the box on a couple of occasions, and looked much more comfortable with the extra man towards the end of the game. But prior to that I always fancied us to go on to score a couple more after getting ourselves ahead, and it wouldn’t have been unjustified, before the complexion of the final 15 mins changed when Max got himself sent off.
