They had only 2 corners & scored from 1 - 50% success rate! We had 10 corners & scored from none.
We had 14 shots, only 5 of which were on target. They had only 6 shots, with 4 on target.
Our defence were taken by surprise by the simplest 'set-piece' corner I've witnessed.
Our corners & free kicks were ineffective, because their defence knew exactly what we were going to do. We never varied it once!
You don't need Sherlock Holmes as your manager to deduce - 'The game Is up!'

disagree they never once played the ball out every time it was booted down field from there the ball spent more time in mid air than on the ground
