Couldn't believe what i was seeing. Team did SO well to get ahead, then crumbled after the first goal, just fell apart and the game swung so heavily .... gutted.
As soon as Hampton got the first back, you could see what was going to happen. No shape or fluidity in the second half until the last ten minutes. We knew they were going to come out and chase the game with force. We needed to match their intensity and push them back. Not grabbing a third in the first half or not going for a third straight away in the second is where the game was lost. The intensity we had for the last ten needed to have been there for the start of the second. Was the definition of a match of two halves. Brilliant and deservedly leading at half time. Then dont recall us having an effort on goal till the 80th in the second. One for the manager to look at in regards to game management imo
Lost the game when the decision was made at half time to stick all our players within 40 yards of the goal instead of leaving one of two up for a potential counter attack. Basic football tells me that if you leave players further up the field, then the opposing team has less players that they are willing to risk playing up front. This was obvious from behind the goal, so why not from the bench?
1st half, fantastic. Exactly what you want to see, great attacking football and build up play.
Kristian Campbell the stand out for me, getting down the left and causing problems.
2nd half, ridiculous. We've shown all season defending is not our strong point and the manager has to take responsibility for that, when you're playing the best football you have all season and looking confident then carry on doing what you're doing, especially at home.
To sit back like we did from the 1st minute of the half was never gonna work. Hopefully the manager and players learn from that.
Danny Parish looks lively, i reckon him and Dipo together would be decent together with Parish doing the running and build up.
Not too downbeat. New signings showed glimpses although frustrating to lose in the way we did. Think if Taylor gets midfield right to protect and ease pressure on defence and create chances we could be as good as any of the mid table bunch
They had 2/3 really good players for the level gundoh being one that makes the difference between top pack and the rest.

Not sure that was intentional. For the first ten minutes of the first half we were pinned back before growing into the game. If we'd gone another five second half minutes without conceding, I think that we might have been okay. What does need improving is our slow starts. How many times have we conceded in the first ten minutes of games?

At least one of their players was being scouted by a SPL team as the request for a ticket was emailed to me by mistake and I cant imagine they were looking at one of our youngsters.
