Just got back from the game.
It was a nothing game, very dull with both teams more or less cancelling each other out. They wanted it more than we did, they had that extra bit of effort to win the ball, to chase it down to win it back which we lacked across the field.
Our organisation from corners was poor and every corner they had they were capable of scoring from. The first goal whilst it was given as an OG against Monks the keeper is at fault, if you come you have to win it otherwise your in no man's land and they score an easy goal.
Both sides lacked any quality to create chances and neither keeper really had any saves to make. We were very flat and almost just playing out the game waiting for the beach which for some cant come quick enough.
I wasn't disappointed as I didn't think we would win today, in my own mind we would lose 2-1 but the truth is we never looked like scoring at all.
What a ground that is as well. Its premier league quality and if we ever move, something like that would be some legacy for Nigel to leave behind.
Just want to say to the 1,400 fans there. Magnificent. We didn't stop singing for 90 mins. Even making fun of ourselves along the way. Proper support. I had a mate of mine come who supports Chelsea and he said to me your fans are amazing, and everyone really was. Shame we couldn't get anything to cheer them up.
