Let's be honest, we could/should have been 2 up in the first quarter hour. Bobby Grant missed two sitters. Yes, the referee was a banker - too many fouls went unpunished in addition to the goal/non-goal and dubious penalty.

Michael Symes looked tired, I thought. I too am mystified by the failure to have Chris Turner in the starting 11.

I thought there were two big differences between the teams yesterday. County were quicker, and they were able to pass the ball into space knowing that a player would be there to run onto it. If we are not hoofing it down the middle, we always want to play to feet.

Having said all that, I don't share the doom and gloom of some comments. We were beaten by a dubious penalty, a tragic error by our most reliable player, and an outstanding goal, whilst having a goal of our own disallowed in strange circumstances.
