Christ the train back to Sheffield is sombre. Proper funeral vibes. People at various stages of grief.

โ€œWilder out!โ€

โ€œKieffer Moore is a big rude boy and nothing else.โ€

โ€œWe were shit.โ€

The strongest grief vibe on the misery wagon, however, is bargaining. Weโ€™re the best team theyโ€™re going to face. Weโ€™re on the same points as them so theyโ€™re doing all right, right? Right?! At least theyโ€™d had a good start till us bigger boys came and bullied them into collectively shitting their boring useless bed.

โ€œSheffield or Leeds?โ€ The poor fella next to me, reaching out for consolation, finds only me, a gloating git.
