Ah, good to have football back!
Got exactly what we deserved - came roaring out the traps and played some genuinely lovely stuff for the first half an hour but for all our possession we barely gave Jaz Singh a thing to do. And then Tamworth clearly shifted things around a bit, started pressing us a little better and it was all downhill from there - they deserved the three points.
I'm already a bit worried by the lack of a Plan B - there didn't seem to be much on the subs bench that was likely to change the dynamic of the game. And I'm already sick of hearing about our "small squad". We've had an entire summer to prepare for the new season so for the management to keep reminding us how small the squad is doesn't sit well. Your job is to ensure we have options, so crack on and get on it!
Positives? Excellent attendance, and that first half hour/40 mins we really were playing some excellent passing football. But 30 mins of decent footy isn't going to pass muster.
Onwards to Southport, who've had a shocking start so hopefully will be desperately low on confidence and a good way to bounce back.
