I thought depite the defeat the lads played quite well. First penalty shout a looked pretty solid and as for Grant's / second penalty shout, I was sat adjacent to it in Main Stand and it looked borderline ?? Right on the edge, could have been called either way, which unfortunately and to our detriment it went the wrong way as far as Stanley were concerned.
That said the ref was pretty inept, am I right in saying he was the ref who gave the goal that never was ( Watford v Reading ) where the ball never went anywhere near the goal ??? I may be wrong, but if so it would go a long way towards explaining his performance today. Seemed to me, like many referees we seem to get these days, that HE wanted to be centre of attention and some of his decisions today lost me for words.
Every time that big lump Fletcher went up for an aerial challenge he was either leading with the elbow or tugging away at the defender!! And the timewasting element that Bournemouth deployed after going 1 up stuck in the throat....admittedly all sides probably do it, but they seemed to take it to the extreme.
That said, I'm not too despondant, we'll probably play worse than that and win, but after last week against Cheltenham the one thing that seemed to stick with me .... we seemed at times,a little pre-occupied with long ball stuff. The four goal blitz last week was on the deck stuff.
Over all, I can't see us being involved in the bottom end scrap we've endured for the last three seasons and Coley is continuing his record of improvement....Tax situation and other finance problems permitting that is.
