After our performance against Everton, I felt a little disappointed tonight.
Agree with Cashy that PNE played some slick impressive football & dominated the match.
Their overall ball possession must have reached about 75-80% & the scoreline could easily have been much greater had it not been for some fine saves from Chapman.
Must have been watching a different game, as I can't agree with Mr Coleman that
'we matched them & all our players played well in the first half'.
We became far more effective in the second with the addition of Pearson, Beckles, Clark & the 'trialist'.
For all their speed, Sousa & Mcleod flatter to deceive & invariably lost the ball when their opportunities arose. Perhaps they'll be more effective against league 2 opposition?
Despite their domination, we almost grabbed a last gasp equaliser in the dying seconds but overall PNE showed why they're in the Championship.
Thought tonight would see an improved attendance against our near neighbour but if anything, it felt like the lowest of the friendlies so far???
Sad!
