An alternative view on the match

Still think that the injuries made a big difference, until Nielson went off, & Magney was crocked, we were the better side.

Goals change games, the first was a great strike, but conceding the second straight away gave us a mountain to climb.

Hurst couldn't then change it around because we had already used two subs.

Anyone else noticed how they singled out Magney for some treatment, maybe they knew how influential he is to us & wanted to stop him.

Not sure what happened to Nielson, but again he was having a good game in the middle before he to went off.

They only got on top of us after they went off, until then we were the better side.

Anyone else remember us yelling "hoof" at their players when they where hoofing it up the pitch in the first half?

They where world beaters in the second half, makes you think? Small margins in football, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Neilson was caught slightly awkwardly in a tackle and appeared to twist his knee. No foul at all, it was a decent tackle from Power (I think) but it was just unfortunate that he picked up the injury. We scored whilst he was still down injured.

I think the fact that we never really pinned them back in the second half or got completely on top of them for any period of time is why there is such criticism of the performance. Disappointing to see that when we needed to get back into the game.

I thought Power had a good game for them.  He seems like the sort of midfielder PH would like; hard-working, tough tackling and also uses decent passing to bring in other players.  Got forward really well for his goal too.  Would have liked to have had a 100% Brown up against him.

I seem to recall that Power has been described as those sort of players who puts in a good performance once every 4 or 5 games and is poor the rest of the time. Unfortunately, he put in one of his good performances against us the other day!

Quoted from 75

He's a good shot stopper but terrible on crosses. But we wouldn't know as we didn't put any crosses in.

I am seriously beginning to wonder if I watched a different game. We put in quite a few crosses from both sides. The people around me were complaining because the crosses were being eaten up by their tall defenders....
