95mins with 1 left we concede. Not only did it bugger up my score prediction but it ended our 100% record. OK we won a point and all others failed to get wins but its so annoying because we had it in the bag.
The only person to blame for that loss was the manager. To instruct the team to start time wasting and running the clock down with 13 minutes of normal time (19 minutes with added on time) to go was lunacy. We have done it before and held on but sooner or later it was going to bite us in the balls and yesterday it did. We had them on the ropes but made no attempt to add a third even when they pushed for an equaliser and left gaps at the back. We had 2 fast strikers on the pitch but instead of going for goal they went for the corner flag and stayed there.
Cant fault the team, they did what was needed but sooner or later we were going to do something rash and end up paying for it. That was Miller going for the ball, completely missing it and leaving their winger an open run on goal with a short cross to some great big lump of a no 9 who always does us Michael bloody Cheek.
Not too despondent but I think somebody needs to change his ideas. Run down extra time or the last few minutes OK but he knew that there would be a minimum of 5 minutes added so why try and hold on for so long. It was frustrating to watch and I think everyone knew what was coming.
Dover next then Barnet who both seem to have improved. There's no easy ride in this league.
