    Only ourselves to blame

    Enough chances in the first half to win at a canter, they were all over the place. Stupid foul by Morgan, another missed penalty, the list goes on.
    Certainly, the ref was 'interesting' today, but that's not why we lost.
    A great 2013, must do better in 2014...

    Our managers half time team talk must have been a belter.
    ONE meaningful second half attack.
    Why did he send the players out for the second half to hang onto a one goal lead?
    We're not good enough to hang on to such a narrow lead.
    TACTICAL STUPIDITY

    A game that sums us up.
    Dominate but cant put the ball in the back of the net then end up making mistakes and can not see a game out at all.
    Get given a game changer on a plate and we dont take it.

    Going to be Mills and Arnason at the back for two games now. God save us.

    All our centre backs are too slow and can't deal with pace, Arnason is too casual, gets outpaced and out-muscled plus his passing is not good either, despite that supposedly being his strength, Collin does too much flapping at the ball and now seems to have turned into Bruce Grobbelar and keeps coming out despite not having a clue what to do when he does come out, and Revell wouldn't score if we played for 90 hours never mind 90 minutes.

    Ref had nothing to do with it.

    We should have been out of site at half time and they came out flying second half. The foul for the red was a foul and a red but outside the box from my angle level with the box. The linesman gave it, not the ref. The ref gave a free-kick initially.

    We were shocking second half, and Arnason, Milsom, Mills, Vuckic were all very poor in that half.

    The pen for us i didn't see what happened, but for the second game running we blew it. For me, it was a chance for Agard to redeem himself.

    Their keeper won them the game, not just from the penalty save, but for his save throughout the first half. He kept them in it, and then won it for them.

    Why are our home performances so below the standard that we should be? Only 3 wins at home, not good enough, simply not good enough.

    No other excuses this time, except we were p!ss poor second half!

    Quite clear to us in WS3 he was struggling to run.

    But without the tactical bit.

    I thought we showed our quality in the first half. We were inventive, and crafted plenty of opportunities, but for an awesome save and a glaring Agard miss against the keepers legs, Frecks flick up and volley being saved we should have been ahead before we scored a very clever goal. And all that was after their left winger nearly scored goal of the season against us in the 1st minute!

    The second half just turned out to be one nightmare after another. We didn't play for the first 15 minutes, couldn't get out of own half and the Milsom / O'Connor change was to try and take charge again. We had a warning before the goal when their winger got the wrong side of Skarz and we got away with it. When their striker got the wrong side of Morgan and through on goal it had all been coming. But Morgan made a terrible decision to bring him down, when he should have left him to go to Colin and yes he probably would have scored but least we'd still have 11 men on the pitch. Colin nearly kept th
