I thought the first 20 we were looking really good. Some great movement, intricate interpassing and dominating the ball but without creating anything or delivering the ball into dangerous areas when we had the chance. Always opting generally to cut the ball back once we had got into a decent crossing position which was frustrating.
We did manage to some crosses in but their defence was quite tall so i'm unsure whether or not this was a deliberate ploy by us to try and work around their defence.
I use the analogy of that scene from Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark where that Egyptian baddie in the souk marketplace stands in front of Harrison Ford bamboozling him with those frenetic sword moves. Then Harrison whips out his gun, shoots him dead then gets on with the rest of his business. That's what we were like the first 20. Like the baddie. Like we were toying with Bradford and showing off and they go up the field once they'd decided they'd seen enough and boom. We are a goal down. All that fancy stuff for nowt.
Like i said in my earlier post, we did have some decent possession and half chances for a spell in the second half but by and large we were really poor from an attacking perspective. We pass the ball well and have lots of the ball but don't really do anything with it. A complete contrast to last weekend where we did try and deliver balls into the area and did break at pace and created problems and chances.
Excellent...I was in San Francisco last year & there was a retro amusement arcade on Fishermans Wharf with those late 1970s early 80s games.They did indeed. 10p a go.
They also had Galaxian, Pac Man, Frogger, Street Fighter and i also saw a Commodore VIC20 which i haven't seen since i was a kid in the late 80's.
Nobodys mentioned Maxted yet? What sort of game did he have?
Never a red for Parkes. He was 'last man' but I thought that rule/law was no longer applied? Still miles from goal too.Just seen the highlight....Sweeney went to sleep for the first....can’t see what on earth Parkes was supposed to have done for his red.
