For me in the first 15 minutes or so I thought we played well with Yates in particular having a decent game and I thought their defence looked very wobbly and was there for the taking. From then on until half time we gradually sat deeper and deeper and it was no surprise when they got their equaliser. It was unfortunate that Shaun Pearson's header was cleared off the line just moments before, if that had gone in it was a different game. They did what they did for most of the game, broke with pace and this time scored.
The second was the most disappointing, it had shades of Burscough in the fact it came straight after the equaliser and shades of Lowestoft as Evans and the defence where beaten from an inswinging corner, only difference was that it was flicked in from a tight angle instead of going straight in. So a couple of things to work on there.
Second half was a total non-event. Don't think we had a shot in anger, they had 2 or 3 chances on the break but as a whole it was very dull. LP makes a very good point about Weir-Daley, 3 or 4 times he got caught offside when looking straight down the line in a wide position. A couple of times I was saying hold your run, when it is that obvious to a fan in the crowd it is very poor from a striker of his experience and something he definitely needs to work on.
All in all very disappointing game but like 1 or 2 performances before put it down to 1 of them nights. Credit where credit is due Steels where the better team on the night but if we'd have been on the money I'm absolutely confident we'd have dispatched of them. Lets hope the boo boys don't over-react like the last time we lost.
