Only saw the game on Sky so it is difficult to know the full ins and outs of the game. We struggled against a physical team who bossed the game from front to back, we were outmuscled and outfought by a better team on the day. There was very little in terms of play from the wingers and the full backs were pegged back which cut any chance of link up play. Craney didn't look fit and should have been substituted at half time. We were unable to win many headers at the back and this could have been remedied by bringing on Kevin Long.

Why were smoke bombs and flares being let off yet again? How many times are the club going to be let off with this by the authorities? Do people not realise that this will no doubt cause the club problems?! As other people have said Chris Turner should've been on the bench at least if not just to give us a different option to change formation. With a winger running against their defenders there would have been a chance of getting some balls in which would've created chances plus pacey wingers can draw fouls and create dead ball chances that may just end up being converted.

As for Friday, we still have a chance but we must fly out of the blocks and get a goal in the first 30 minutes otherwise if we let them dictate the pace we will lose again. Not many changes are needed, the lads deserve a chance to redeem themselves but Long needs to be in for Hessey.
