The other thing I noticed was the number of needless and stupid free kicks we gave away.

A very frustrating game all in all.
I think the pressure is getting to the team a bit. They looked tense. We played best when the pressure was off, we weren't expected to beat the likes of Lincoln, Mansfield and Forest Green (which has made me feel a little sick actually!) But games we are needing to win, we tense up.

As for the needless free kicks, I think the ref had a lot to do with that. He let Pope get away with murder and man handling everyone, and the amount of fouls on Stead he let go to then blow up for when one of their players was merely breathed on was a disgrace. And how did he get only 2 minutes of injury time for the whole game? Their number 7 needed treatment for ages (whilst off the pitch) yet he added nothing on
