That was my first game since the 3-0 against Maidenhead, and there were plenty of similarities in the two performances.

A few observations: we didn’t create much but could have scored 5; we were incredibly sloppy at the back and were lucky not to concede a few more; we lacked intensity overall, but when we did have it, we were excellent; our squad isn’t big enough; Castro can strike a mean free kick, but otherwise he was a bit of a liability and wanted far too much time on the ball; what a difference a goalscorer makes; great for TAR to come in and get two very good assists, but defensively he was all over the shop: we got away with resting 2 key players prior to the big game on Tuesday night, where we will have to up our game in order to go top.

And I thought their number 11 was very impressive - sign him up.
