I agree Cashy about the second half and the substitutions, especially Fosu for Sean Mac. Sean had a couple of good chances in the first half but he must convert some of these into goals....simple! Fosu looks like a true athlete to me and he took his 'one on one' with the keeper superbly with more or less his first touch on the ball! He threatened two or three more times in the closing stages. Big question is, could he reproduce that form for a full 90 minutes if he was to be given a start?
In the first half for twenty minutes we 'clicked' with our slick passing with Josh Windass very effective with his first time flicks and passes and runs into space. Credit to our opponents though because they then closed us down effectively having clearly done their homework on us! I was frustrated that Spencer was allowed to get away with so much foul play during the whole match! Some of his barges into our defenders were so clear to see and some were quite dangerous and risked serious injury to our players! When a defender is in the air going for a header and is then barged into sideways by an opponent running from afar, they are likely to get totally upended and come down on their head or arms a bit like in a 'spear tackle' in Rugby!
The referee could well be observed by many people to have a had a 'good game' because he didn't book any players at all, but it would have made for a much better game if he had booked somebody after 30 minutes or so.
In the end a draw was good result for us as some of our boys clearly underperformed today.
