Well that wasn't how the script was meant to go ...!!   

We started ok in blustery conditions and created a few chances ... their keeper dropped a corner for Cass to ram home .. and everything felt fine ..

They started to play their way into it a bit more .. though dont remember Nathan having much to do save wise .. then scored just before half time .. I wasnt looking but the consensus seemed to be it was a poor goal to concede .. and could have been an own goal ..

Jerry went off imjured mid way through the half - hope its not serious hes been in great form .. and Nathan slotted in for him ..

2nd half was poor - they were the better side and seemed to want it more than us ...

We made an attacking sub with LDV replacing Maja - which surprised me .. but did show intent for us to try and win it .. 

With Taafe and LDV on the pitch I would have put Mo up top where he can do most damage .. they were clearly going to focus on him .. and I hear they are the only team he hasnt scored against this season ...

It could have been fine - Mo broke through and put the ball in the net with 10 to play - but it was offside - didn't look it to me ..

Then in the last minute we gave a way a free kick .. and after we partially cleared they smashed it home to go mad (reminded me of our 2014 Great Escape type celebrations!)

The ref didnt have a great game, a few of their players were whinging a lot, but in truth we did not deserve the win ..

Mo clapped the fans briefly then rushed off down the tunnel .. Andy was clearly angry too ...

So a poor performance but after 6 straight wins .. maybe better to get this out of our system now ..

Sammy, Lewis and Scott all had good games in my view ..

 

So what has changed - well with Lewes, Folkestone and Cheshunt all drawing - we only need 1 point to be matheatically in the play offs ..

Our chance of getting to 2nd seems unlikely now ... so it is likely to be us v Hornchurch - venue tbc depending on the last few matches .. but more likely to be at theirs now ..

Yes we've done the double over them, but with 3 ex Towners in the side it will be a tough one that could go either way ...

And from what I saw on Tuesday they have 3 quick forwards we need to be prepared to counter ..

 

Having been reluctant to change a winning side, I now expect PK & LDV to start the next game ...  

Bilal should be given a chance too, and Harold and Muleba need some game time ... we should rotate a bit next few games to get the team combination right for the semi, and ensure all the squad are ready should they be needed ...

I am told Adam's injury is not serious which is great news ..  he should be starting if fit in my view

 

So a bad day at the office .. but its all about being ready for the semi now .. despite being frustrated, I still clapped off the team at the end .. they have come a long way .. and we still have this within our hands ....  we're all in this together ...
