Well he did in the FA Trophy match but then was sacrificed when Barnum-Bobb was sent off.

A Jamie Reid penalty separates the two sides; can we hang on or score again?

I’ll wait to hear what those who went make of the performance before judging whether it was a point won or 2 lost. Feels like 2 lost to me atm

We were playing with a man less with the wind and rain in our faces so obviously its a fantastic effort to hang on for a point.

It sounded like one of those games where the ref was always going to send off one of our players - strangely enough he didn't see fit to issue a yellow when they conceded a penalty.

We may well have won that with eleven men on the pitch.

Certainly feels like we gifted them that point. First Dowling, then Dorel straight after - it felt like slow-mo knowing he would punch it into his crowded area and he managed to find their player perfectly.

Held on well at the end. Fair play to Efete, who looked like a fish out of water at wing back, but his effort stayed til the last. Some set pieces we have been working on, to put it politely, need a bit more work. Good effort by Reid throughout, Gosling looked fresh and raring to go, which was good to see given Dowling getting himself suspended.

Dorel 3 (Daft. Yeah, it was wet, but his punching was poor and gifted them the goal)
Efete 4.5 (battler. No wing back, but tried hard to be)
Davey 4.5 (shaky)
McGinty 7 (solid captain marvel)
Andrésson 6.5 (looked decent)
Davis 7 (defended and attacked well)
Lathrope 6 (Alright. Not great. Key to not losing, though)
Young 6 (Ok. Tested the keeper a couple of times)
Dowling 3 (stupid boy)
Reid 7.5 (our best player)
Keating 6 (bags of effort, and won the penalty. No real quality to him)

May well have been a good point in the conditions and circumstances but the fact remains we have to start
winning games, we should have hung on and won , another mistake has cost us , Dorel apparently
With GD now TEN points adrift, the gap continues to grow
Need to win the next two but cant see BW losing at home twice in 5 days but you never know.
Simply have to beat Eastleigh at home, then we are away at Wrexham .....

Keep believing as my uncle one told me. Hope is being able too that there is daylight despite the darkness.
If there was 6 games remaining then i would say impossible . 20 games left it is very much game on. I would say though wins are vital in the next 10 games .
