Where do I start? We never looked like winning, I was surprised when we scored, it was our only shot on target. Brackley bossed us all afternoon. The midfield were static and devoid of creativity. Crab football was the dish of the day. I half expected Butch Wilkins to come off the bench in a Boston shirt.
The wind made life difficult but that was the same for both sides.Great to see Hazell back but he is obviously not match-fit.
Two things to say about the match overall. The standard of the match officials was appalling. The linesman on the East Stand side was totally incompetant, and that's being generous. Brackley were also guilty of some pathetic gamesmanship. If only Ellender/Greaves were on the pitch the Brackley players would not be simulating injury. they would actually be carried off with various limb
malfunctions!
