However, it has been revealed that the players must not be blamed because the mentality in the team has not been upgraded to meet up with the level of competition that is now obtainable.

The passivity of the team has been pointed to the reason why they could not hold on after playing a 1-1 draw the first half.

It was observed that the North London side had a more challenging mentality and spirit but that was not seen in the second half.

However, there is a need for the North London outfit to strengthen their defence with quality players who have a big fighting spirit.
