Deservedly 2 up at HT. 2nd half, they edged it, however, not heard PWs reaction yet but I think "disappointed" will be mild compared to what he actually says. Fozzy, on his 10th anniversary, didn't need to make the foul. Rooney idem ditto for the push for the penalty. I have no issue with either decision but both actions were totally unnecessary. Two points thrown away. We managed 18 shots, 4 on target. Their stats are 6 and 5.
Apart from the push for the penalty, I thought Rooney didn't play badly. Also thought Smith wasn't that good in what is his normal role. White coming on was no surprise and having to make way for Smith was probably the price Roo made for the penalty push.
Bolton drew at Morecambe, Wycombe could only draw at home to Exeter, Barnsley drew at Brizzle. We got away with this unnecessary dropping of points.
My only thought is that maybe he didn't think White had the strength to play in midfield against a team that is combative and Springett seems not be to be favoured. But we should ahve won and threw 2 pts away.
Not too disappointed overall given where we have come from, there is no realistic proposition of autos and a play off place would be a very good achievement.
Agree totally Swale, a play off place would be a remarkable achievement after you know what! Possibly because of our relatively small, unbalanced squad I think that may well slip away over the final stages of the season! Either way, as I frequently bore you all by pointing out, 'we're still alive and kicking but still have another season of the EFL's draconian restrictions to negotiate'! Survive and live to fight another day was the prime objective, that now seems well within our grasp under the control of an owner with some brain cells!!
A bit disappointing if we don't make the play offs but year one of two ***** years in the club's history have been most satisfactory and, may I say, enjoyable!
Oh dear I said 'v I t a l'! Who's a naughty boy!!!! 👿
