BTFC 2-1 BTFC

[Ryan.c]

Just when you think that lady luck had at last given you a smile, along comes a dirty great big Bedford jugernaut to smash her pearly whites to smitherines!!!! Once again we've come away shaking our heads asking ourselves how the feck we didn't take at least a point. Gary Ansell put us in front with a header from a superb Hunter cross. JJ has made two excellent saves at the other end whilst Niall Ritchie was put through on goal only for the keeper to save. Fell for the sucker punch just before half-time when we lost possession way inside Bedfords half and before you could say 'f*ck it', the ball was in the net.

 

Second half we've pretty much controlled and for the 7th time this season we've hit the woodwork! Then 5 minutes before time JJ has alledgedly handled outside the area and has been shown a straight red. From the free-kick they win a corner and thier No.5 rises like a f#cking salmon to head home.

 

JJ's sending off looked harsh even from my position from behind the goal. A bedford player was bearing down on him but given JJ's experience, if there was any danger of him being outside the area then I'm sure he would of elected to kick. And in no way had it denied Bedford a goalscoring opportunity. Ultimately though, it has cost us the game.

 

In conclusion, we've played well and come away with nothing yet again. If it's any consolation all bar 2 of the teams we've played so far are in the top half of the table!!

once again we fail to get our just desserts with us being value for a point in this game. Individual errors cane us again and for the grillionth time this season (at least) we have conceded in the last 5 or 10 minutes of the game.

 

However the fact remains that we are second last and a 4 point return from 8 games isnt going to win u any prizes. In my opinion we are 3 or 4 players short of having a competitive side and if we don't have some cash released to get a couple of players in we are likely to be in the comical situation of playing the equiv of ryman div 1 footy in our nice new ground.

 

this is not a slight against the players out there who are giving it their best shot (especially gary ansell who ran his cods off again yesterday) but we need a bit more quality in some areas to be safe.
