Buxton

Thought we were very unlucky last night. On another night we would have been going in 3-1 up at half time.  Three stunning saves kept Buxton in the game.  Then an unlucky own goal and dodgy penalty( their player handled before being fouled ) sealed their win.

The injuries are mounting up again, I think we need a couple of loanees pronto.

Saturday I questioned ICs use of substitutions ( lost us two points I thought ). Last night was even more of a mystery, he took off a defender and put on another forward.  Our ageing defence was being ripped apart by their swift forwards.  Our three defenders was soon down to two, with Mills suffering an injury.

A quick word about the poor ball boy.  He looked distraught after making his mistake. Bless him.

Stepped onto the pitch to gather a ball whilst still in play, was a good 2ft away from going out

Fair play to Buxton and to Craig. They had us worked out and on the night looked physically stronger. I get that Zak was injured at the end but it looked to me like they broke us physically and we had nothing left. Not bad for a part time team!

Looking at the highlights, we created a fair few untaken chances. Would've been a different story had we taken one or two of those.

We really, really miss Hazel.
