    Didn't need to happen today though Terry. Very very poor game management. Louis been outstanding last couple of games but what on earth was he thinking about giving them a free kick like that in the last minute. Don't under any circumstances give them a free ball into the box with 10 men. 2 points thrown away today I'm afraid.

    Maybe getting 2 might help. Going to be honest here, we were poor. Lets not forget Benji's saves and Edwards goal line clearance. We never really looked like we were causing much danger. The quicker we get back to our best team the better. A point away from home in this league is not the end of the world, but, just now it feels like it.

    Roll on Tuesday...........

    It always feels like a horrible kick in the stones when you lose a lead at the death, sickener as would have been a great 3 pts but it will happen at times, seems avoidable but hoping it will be a decent piont come the end of the week

    I think Appere maybe slipped trying to close the county player down, if not it was stupid, as was Hoti's when the ref didn't give handball. Still the same problem of having to rely on the defence not conceding for us to win games, defenders must have scored about a third of our goals too. Don't know what the script is with the guy from Coventry is, I'd have thought fresh legs with them pushing and being a man short would have helped.

    The jury is still out on which of their 3 players scored the goal. Not the best defending in the world. Added time brain freeze methinks....

    Saying it happens at times says its acceptable! Wasnt acceptable to feck about at an injury time corner early in the doon season, and while the circumstances are different, its not acceptable now in where we want our team to be!

    Fecking about at a corner said to County that we had taken the foot off the accelerator, which in turn gave them the heart to push forward for the equalizer! I would rather the ball was back at Benji rather that failing to win another corner!

    Yes, we were poor today, but we were ahead and in control then just threw it away!

    To be fair I don't think we have done anything too different from any of our other games today when trying to close it out, it's just we haven't done it very well by giving away two stupid free kicks, and before that trying unsuccessfully to win a corner. And we are missing two our best players for keeping possession in Fuchs and Levitt. First free kick should be a free kick to us for handball, but Hoti needs to keep his composure, second one I think maybe Appere slips in his efforts to close down the county player, so maybe a bit unlucky.

    We have shown we can close games out, but we can't kill games off, we don't have fast clinical players in final third who when teams open up can pick them off.

    I thought that was why we signed Niskanen, he was far too deep today, and dare I say it, not as fast as we were hoping for.
