I would have kept Powell out wide and left Bramall on the bench, put Mcwilliams into the midfield and used Tiehi as our central midfield link until Kelly is ready to start again. Why we kept lumping the ball up to Nombe and Wilkes looking for flick ons is another mystery, surely against their bigger defenders we should have been playing the ball into the channels for them to use their pace and turn defenders, and knowing JCH wouldn't be playing this should have been worked on in training. In a close game like this was, it just needs one moment of quality to win it, and for me it came in 17 seconds with the cross that Mullin put away, but they defended really well and whilst they aren't brilliant, they are very well drilled and will probably wonder how they didn't catch us on the break in the last 15 mins when we had to commit men forward. On my way to the ground I bumped into jocksgloves and we both said that we know we are going to concede a goal, but I'm pretty sure neither of us was expecting it to be after 17 seconds, all in all a really frustrating day for us but we move on.
