It was a great performance by the lads yesterday with everyone battling for each other and giving 110% especially for Kevin Hudson who seemed to turn into Superman for the day and flew all over the goal he was absolutely outstanding.
Against a very good strong and quick Borehamwood team who obviously had a lot of experiance between them and caused us quite a few problems for the whole 90 minutes i think we stood up to them excellantly and gave them a real game and probably gave them quite a scare.
From where i was standing i don't honestly think it was a penalty to them from Tommy Osbournes challange, yes he did nudge the back of the player but he seemed to go down far far to easily to me for his size, it was as though he'd been poll axed from behind and as normal Gary Johnson fell for it.
Where as when we should've clearly been awarded a penalty for the challange on Dave Martin when the defender who was the last man pulled Dave down the ref was going to give absolutely nothing until he saw the linesman had flagged so he had no real choice but even then he had to speak to his assistant first when the ref was in a very good position to have seen what had happend.
At the end of the day as others have said we would've probably settled for a point before the game had kicked off but i like many others came away from the ground feeling more like we'd lost rather than drawn the match. Why do we keep conceeding these late goals all of the time to throw it all away. We had chances to finish Wood off especially 1 great chance but we just couldn't seem to do it and we let them back in again.
I as well as a few others are starting to see things a bit more from both Spike and Ronaldo's eyes now on 1 certain point which most probably know what im on about, which isn't really easy for me to say as i don't normally see things the same way as either of them.
Yesterday i honestly think was probably one of Ryan Briggs best games if not the best i've seen him play for Darts since he joined us. He was none stop chasing and hassling the opposition for the whole 90 minutes and if he lost the ball he went straight after it again to win it back which was excellant.
I kept getting flash backs all lastnight to that 1 horrible incident in yesterdays game where things could've been oh so different but hey the games now over and you just can't mull over these things.
All we can do is hope that things go right over the easter weekend and our last 2 games, our forwards find the back of the net, our defence don't let the opposition find the back of the net (especially near the end of the game), other results go our way and who knows we could climb back into the top 6. As long as we can put in that same fighting spirit and the same effort as there was yesterday then we shouldn't have any problems at all.
Dave Martin - HOME
Kevin Hudson - AWAY
UP THE DARTS
