Just back

Quoted from Paris Mariner

I actually thought we played ok and certainly deserved the win. Gateshead caused us no problems and we had a strong penalty shout, a goal chance cleared off the line and a good few crosses from corners and open play flashed across the box which, on another day, would have got a knick and go in.

I don't think we deserved a win at all, the draw seemed the fair result.  Gateshead also had a chance cleared off the line and McKeown had to make a great save in the first half to deny what looked like a certain goal.  From where I was sat in the Main Stand it didn't look like a penalty either for Brown, their defender didn't even know he was running from behind so it was more of a collision rather than a foul.  

I went with lower expectations after the previous two games and still left BP underwhelmed.  I can't understand why we have so many attack minded players but offer very little in terms of an attacking threat.  It seems the way the team is set up is more about nullifying any threat from the opposition which is great for keeping clean sheets but that doesn't mean you'll win the games.  I'd happily see Town conceded 1 or 2 goals each game if it means they're banging in 3 or 4 up the other end.  Up front we just seem too cautious and predictable at the moment.

I was talking about a handball for a penalty but now I think about it - that might have been in our box from thier player. It was in front of the Ponny anyway.

I'd forgotten about that one and to be fair, I did shout "handball" when it happened.  Although it was more in hope than anything as it didn't seem intentional but as the pundits on TV say, "I've seen 'em given".
