Well now ive slept what do i say about last nights performance?
First half we were slow and seemed like we were happy to frustrate and possibly hit on the break. It wasnt like we were dropping deep, we just didnt have any umph behind our play.
Second half we had a bit more about our play and saw a lot more of the ball but never really had a great chance on goal, probably didnt have one all game, just a few easy saves and a couple of half chances but nothing major. All the second balls seemed to be dropping to their feet or bouncing their way.
In terms of their goal. Ward shouldve saved it but the lad will save us more points than he costs us.
defensively we seemed solid enough. One very nervy moment in the first half when ward produced a fine save one on one. Knockaert is still our nemesis but we could do with someone like him.
Midfield battled hard, bunn was fairly anonymous, payne looked like he had something up his sleeve and rajiv did all his duties. Kachunga tried but never really got into the game being marshalled in the land of giants.
One thing though, i dont know why when we were going for it, nahki wells ended up out wide right. Added to that hef wasnt winning much if anything against their 6"6+ centre halves. We would have been better off moving it wide and whipping crosses in, especially when duffy has scored so many own goals this season.
All in all we battled hard but to no avail. On to saturday!
