I'm a half a glass full kinda guy, but even I had resigned myself to a loss with over thirty minutes to play. I know we are playing with a cobbled makeshift team, but we should have had nine points from the last three games.
Blyth: In my opinion poor substitutions cost us two points.
Buxton: They had one shot on target from open play, yet scored three goals. At the match I thought their forward handled before being fouled for the penalty. After watching the replay, it confirmed what I saw. IC substitutions must also come into question. Missed chances also meant we got nothing from the match.
Spennymoor: I thought( and so did all sat around me ) their player handled before scoring their second. I looked at the replay this morning and I still think he did. That was not so clear cut as the rebound from the penalty. The goal should have stood.
I am dissappointed with the last three results, like everyone else. But I feel will did enough to win all three. Those teams were no better than us. We had a bit of bad luck on occasions, post and bar hit several times. I also think we will scrape into the playoffs, but could come down to the last game.
OT: I see Scunny have set a new league attendance record, beating York V Boston 2022 by just 23. They are claiming the record despite giving away 1500 tickets.
