Last night was the first chance I have had to see the "new" team having been on holiday and must agree with a lot of the comments on here..Too much hoofball and not enough keep ball,the Matlock number 2 had a storming game,strong in the tackle,distributed the ball well and had pace up and down the line.
Davidson was poor,he was out jumped for every header and always waited for the ball to come to him instead of going towards it,our best play came when we got down the flanks and got a cross in but these were few and far between.
On the last 30 minutes of play I was pleased with the point as we were under the cosh and against a better finishing team could have been punished.
As for the referee,I was stood down Spain Road about 10 yards from the goal line and it was a stonewall penalty,the ref wasn't even going to book anyone til Matlock moaned about it,mind you,he did play it right for our goal when their defender went down,some refs would have stopped the game for treatment but the rule states only head injuries should be treated straight away so he got top marks for that...
