Thought we played very well but for me allowed them too much room all overview pitch. Goodall was outstanding and must be regarded as a replacement for the skipper. Up front we badly need someone who is prepared to have a shot and put his head where it hurts. I was hoping that Jim would have used Jack Ryan who looks as though he can handle himself and could have caused their back line somecphysical problems. Miller is too lightweight for me although he probably came closest to scoring othercthan Lee's free kick.
Overall a good display but I feel Jim needs to be a bit more ruthless in his substitutions and give the young lad a chnce rather than Kevin who contributed very little when he came on.
We have an inability to attack corners also Neil , all bunched up in the middle and nobody attacking the back post area where Jimbo and Artell were in the past very effective.
Agree it was a good display in fact very good at times but also very frustrating when there's no end product . Both Beeley and Devitt guilty of not testing a dodgy keeper who was given an easy ride in the second half after flapping at everything in the first. Need a confidence boost soon and lets hope we can end the 12yr voodoo on Saturday with a hatful.
