Match Thread vs. Dagenham & Redbridge 02.12.20 [NL]

Deserved the win no doubt but will have to settle for the point and a clean sheet. Positive attacking performance but ultimately 2 points dropped against average opposition.

How is bringing a striker and an attacking midfielder on ‘respecting the point’?

Ardley did everything he could to win the game today, some just consciously choose to believe the opposite.

Ardley : "It was a penalty. Why on earth does somebody about to hit the back of the net go to the floor?..... Should have been out of sight by HT.... sort of game you can lose 1-0, we didn't do that........ we always try and play attacking..... just have to take it as one of those games..... 2nd half we got frustrated, the moment we stopped [passing it] it became a tennis match...... Sam on a fitness program, excellent today.... not disappointed with performance but frustrated, we was the better team and deserved to win..... Roberts back training 2-4 weeks"

Cant help thinking we let them off the hook there. Rodrigues shud have scored twice in the first 10 minute. Sam should have made it 3-0 within 20 minutes. The rest of the game wouldnt have mattered. It is not unfair to point out this cost us just like when we concede poor goals defensively. We are not doing that now. Turner is back up to speed now and was outstanding as was Rawlinson. But goals win games we missed all our chances and bar one well taken free kick they didnt really have any. 2 point carelessly dropped

They have recently got a draw at Sutton and only lost by 1 against Mansfield so no pushovers. However, these are the games where we need to change 1 point to 3. We will play a lot worse and win though.

Definitely. In previous games it's been the defensive performance that has let the side down. Tonight the defence was strong and the Turner-Rawlinson partnership seems to be back to it's best in past two games. It was just that last bit of cutting edge in front of goal just missing, and a strange referee decision. Why on earth a referee would deem a striker to go to ground deliberately when they are given the ball on a plate a yard or two in front of goal for a tap in is nonsensical.

We can't say we didn't create or did not have chances. There was plenty of them to win the game by my prediction of 4-1. We've played worse and will play worse and win games.

If we carry on playing like we have done in the past three games we will give a team a good hiding soon.

You have to look at the positives, the team look like their getting into their stride now and with games thick and fast that should be a good thing. Just hope Torquay start dropping some points as apart from that I think we should be pretty optimistic this season.

It was the players on the pitch that cost us the win not Ardley
