well that as a frustrating night!
First half played some nice football and were well in control. the goal as a bonus and we awaited the introducton of some fire power second half to get that "vital second goal". Yeovil weren't even in it and mad two early subs to try and contain us.
So onto the second half and predictably the team remained the same before we thought the subs were introduced on the hour mark to kill off the game. The hour mark came and went and as our players tired and we began to be pushed back all eyes were on Tis and the subs. It got worse and I think everybody could see that unless we changed things round and gave our team a forward outlet then we would concede. Norwood had run himself out for the cause and Stewart was not capable of matching their tall central defence. When it came the suicide ball across the box to Jones who did quite well just to get a boot on it, unfortunately it scewed to one of their players who crashed it into the net.
Eventually the subs came but it was too late and though Logan and Mcallister did work to fashion some half chances any player capable of getting the ball across to them was totally f*cked by then and they couldn't do it alone.
I will be very interested why Tis stood like a rabbit caught in the headlights when it was so obvious that we needed to freshen things up and take the game to a poor Yeovil side that must have been amazed to be still in the game come the end.
