I bet we scored first as we don't seem to be able to hang on to a lead for long these days .... (Oh yes just seen it, we did score first). mmmmmm.

Not there-so no idea how we played-irrelevant really-but i would gladly accept a point to 'stop the rot',so quite pleased.

 

Gives a foundation to start building on again.

Just need to take 3 points from Leatherhead next week.

 

Looking forward to reading the odd report on how we did.

 

Full marks to Stubbs for taking the penalty-needed a bit of cool aplomb to do that for a late equaliser-fair bit of pressure there-well done DS

I didn't get home quick...

 

Fair result overall. CK made changes at half-time, bringing on Bodkin and Murphy. We looked much better but W&F still had good chances, SO made at least three vital saves. A game between two teams low on confidence. Good to see Hill return. Heaven knows what the crowd would have been without the away support.

[P.W.]

They announced the attendance 105 at about 3:15 - never heard an announcement of attendance before half-time before.

The ground was quite nice & had a slope from top right to bottom left that reminded me of Hartsdown pre-Conference. The pitch was very close cut & immaculate. The main stand was elevated but about 20-30 yards from the pitch.

 

We took the lead at 34 seconds, but lost it with their first attempt at goal about a minute later, went further behind late in the first half. Murphy and Bodkin were both introduced to start the second half (replacing Curtis who'd taken a knock, & another yellow card, just before half-time and Burchall, who didn't have much success with shots most failing to be on target). Murphy, playing down the left wing looked sharp - but didn't find a 'Gate shirt when he got his crosses in.

Just as we looked to pick up another loss, we managed to get a penalty - Cloke had just been subbed and Stubbsy claimed the kick, which he cooly put to the keepers left.

Stubbsy also put the killer pass in for Tom to score early doors (Just so Derek is aware) .

 

He also seemed to find the heads of several people from his corners first half too which doesnt always happen when others take them.
