Full respect and credit to Macclesfield for doing their homework on us and stopping us play our game because once they did that (which didn't take long) it became evident that we had absolutely no plan B. We were forced to launch the ball forward unsuccessfully due to their excellent closing down. There was no movement amongst our forward players in order to receive the ball; our 'back six' as I call them (defence & holding mid) had nothing to pass to. How often did we see Joycey win the ball well, then have nothing in front of him?
Sure, the liner was a joke. McConville's goal looked well onside and their equaliser looked exactly the opposite. However on the balance of play we did not deserve to win that game one bit. But it is still a kick in the teeth to only get a point in that fashion.
The one positive for me was Proccy's goal... what a brilliant strike. After that it looked like we just might have been able to step up our game and edge it. Sadly the lack of concentration allowed Macclesfield to get that cross into the box ...and the liner did the rest.
Just glad we have two home games to allow our players to remember how to play football!

Disagree shaker, subs could have made a difference, yes tactically clueless in first half, just punting ball in air in the main,1-0 down,was worth replacing a couple with instructions to play on ground. Jimmy Ryan who i love to bits was terrible last night, maybe tiredness or just a bad day in the office, if yer losing n looking bad, then fresh faces can't do any worse simples. by the way coley said apart from 25 mins we were the best side, is he on acid?
