For me first half was our best half of the season. Some great passing and their keeper made 3 outstanding saves, their pen was their only chance of the half. Second half was a completely different story as Workington bossed the possession, pressed us high up the field and we barely got out of our own half. They deservedly got the win late on.
This to me seems to be a recurring problem, the last 3 games we've been good first half but second half have ran out of ideas. Not sure what Jason tells them at half time but it certainly seems to have the opposite effect to what is needed. Not wanting to have KON on here ranting about the fitness coach, but we look like we run out of steam second half. So far we've looked anything but the fittest team in the league.
Nothings won or lost after five games. Performance today first half was top notch, poor defencively second half but one or two experienced heads missing. If the pen was given against Jones first half (which was pretty stone wall decison) then the game could have been different if we went in up at half time. Need 7 points from next three games before the cup game if we are going to keep up with the those above us though...
I thought that as well. Not sure why people are trying to portray today as some sort of apocalyptic performance.
Results are king I'm afraid, doesn't matter how good a performance is put in if you don't get results. I think this is what clouds some peoples judgement, a defeat and we're going down a win and we're gonna win the league.
The opposition we have played so far we should be sitting on a minimum of 11 points, Workington and Droylsden have been decent sides but the other 3 have been piss poor and to lose to 2 of them is why we have had the reaction we have so far from the fans.
There is still time to put it right but we have lost a lot of ground on the top 5 and I don't think we've played what I believe will be a top 6 side yet. The season is in danger of being over before it's started JL has a lot of work to do to turn this round
