Ok, let’s get the negative aspects out of the way. We cannot keep "switching off" for 10 minute periods of every game as it has cost us in the last 3 matches. We are learning the hard way that football is about complete concentration from start to finish.

The way we started the 2^nd half completely bemused me, as we’d looked so comfortable for the first half hour.

On the positive front, we played, competed, and matched a free scoring side for the 1^st 30 minutes and limited them to only a few half chances. I thought the midfield competed really well, and James, CJ and Sonny all got into goal scoring positions as they were asked to do.

Defensively, Dean had a great 1^st half, well supported by Lewis, Dan and Niall.

The second half started off as a complete shambles, and we were 3-0 down before we’d even realised the game had re-started. Andy, Steve and Michael were introduced and the fresh legs seemed to raise our game once again.

On a bright note, it was great to see Ryan Stokes back to his very best. He thoroughly deserved his man of the match award after a string of excellent saves. Dean was solid throughout and Scott, Rob and Lewis battled to the very end.
