Just watched the lowlights

- Pigott has to score with the close range header
- Drinan should leave it for Forde or score
- El Miz leaves his man to allow the shot then appalling goalkeeping from Brynn to let such a slow shot go in. If that was Howes he'd be getting hammered

We would not have scored that goal as our players rarely shoot from the edge of the box

Its the only way we get width. We have one winger fit. Everyone else comes inside looking for a shot.

Anyone know last nights attendance ?

What about Ruels miss ? The one before their goal not the one that nearly hit the corner flag.

I couldn't believe Pigs put it over at the time, but having watched it back it wasn't as easy as I thought. He was coming back from the goal line where he'd been on the keeper so had to get around and over the ball.

Same with Drinnans chance, I thought he was away and through on goal but didn't realise the other centre half was ahead of him and ushering him away from goal.

Agreed that the midfield needed to be a couple of yards further back helping out the defence. Brynn was wrong footed, difficult to blame him for that.
