We couls and should have had at least a point today. on another day maybe stolen a win. but something is definitely not right.
Didn't think we really hit our straps today, Chris. We created very little, although if a Stanley toe could have poked the ball in during that goalmouth scramble then we might have nicked a point. But the fact we were still in it was as much down to their conservatism as our dynamism. Couldn't understand why they dropped off when they had us all over the place in the first 10 mins. But, for me, that didn't disguise the disjointedness of a lot of our play. We all want to see good young lads given a chance, but Harvey was a fish out of water at right-back and the other kids struggled to make an impact. Nour impressed me the most, he clearly has stacks of ability, just needs to use the ball a bit better. Thought Jordan looked sharp when he came on, I'm not sure we've got the best out of him yet.
