My thoughts...
First half we were very lacklustre, after a good first 7 or 8 minutes. Jones looked the liveliest but his full back didn't help out by basically standing behind him, leaving him to come all the way off the touch line with two players to beat every time. We were bullied by their strikers. Happens all the time, we are technically as good (or if you like, as mediocre) as the opposition, but when it comes to a physical battle we always seem to lose out.
Second half was much better, no surprise that everything seemed to come from Jones, this half he was helped out by people getting over to him and taking defenders away, leaving him 1 on 1 with his marker.
Their 2nd goal was very good but you could see something like that happening, and when they broke away down their left it looked a nailed on goal from the very start. Thinking about it, their first goal was a very good header as well, but with a big looping cross like that, the striker should never have got the space to pull away from his marker, from such a static position.
Support was generally very good given the circumstances, a bit subdued at times, but when we got going it was impressive. That said, we have some utter mongs following us. In particular the guys abusing Oggy in the warmup... "time to go Oggy, get out the club"... very helpful. And yes everyone had a bit of a laugh at the Bob The Builder mascot, but about half a dozen lads by me giving a children's mascot some pretty hefty abuse and repeatedly,calling him a wanker, didn't exactly make them look hard. And I always chuckle at some of the absolute pie-merchants in our support who regularly call the opposition keeper a "fat bastard".
Nice ground, enjoyed the day, shame about the result.
