For the second, BSD should have taken charge rather than allowing the ball to go over his head and Richards should never have been that far off his line. Then again, it was our own crap free kick that led to them counterattacking in the first place. Having said that, the finish was superb.
In the second half it was good to see us go for it. Lowery was immense and the link up play through the middle was a joy. Kashket was ineffective and pulled out of too many tackles. Mandron made a difference when he came on.
Of the back line, Zak stood out again. Adebisi was rather hit and miss and Offord needs to speed up his decision making.
Some people will only see another loss but I am a little heartened with a sense that things are beginning to come together. True, we still make bad decisions at the back but I think there's a chance we COULD still escape. I know, for some, that that is rosy specs speak but sacking everybody won't change things at this stage. Let's give it until New Year and if we haven't started to pick up a few points by then, I will accept the inevitability of League Two next season.
