My rose-tinted glasses detected an improvement since the Boxing Day smash and grab raid by the Alfreton spoilers. BPA were there to play football and we matched the league leaders all the way. Great hold up play by big Gav, and he was unlucky not to get a goal. A big plus to have him back and he could build a good partnership with Rollins.
I've always been a fan of Thanoj, but today even the rose tints were struggling and I was hoping we might see the new loan midfielder on in the second half, but CE went for Spencer instead. With Clee on for them the midfield was lost, with Allott off the ball wasn't sticking up front long enough, and it seemed just a matter of whether there was enough time for an equaliser, unfortunately there was.
If we can play like that at Alfreton, and learn the lessons from Boxing day, then we're in with a fighting chance
