How on earth did we manage to go in at half-time with just one goal to show for our efforts? We played some superb football in the first half and must have squandered 4 or 5 gilt edged chances. The usually superb and reliable (player of the season) Lee Burns was the biggest culprit as he had one of those nights when he couldn't hit a cows arse with a truck load of banjos and even jokingly called for his own substitution at one point. Despite those misses, Lee kept plugging away and still had a decent game in all oher respects. However, I suppose it was inevitable that a team chasing a play-off spot would come back at us at some point so it was not particularly surprising to see Wealdstone up their game in the second half and eventually we were made to pay for our earlier misses.
As Welsh Waffler says, it's a compliment to our team that, having already won the league, we came away from last night's game slightly disappointed that we had only managed a draw, away from home, against promotion chasing opponents. In the cold light of day, it's was obviously a decent result. Another good all-round team performance but I thought Lee Noble had probably his best game of the season last night and pipped Shinn for my MOTM.
When we left Kingstonian's ground just a couple of weeks back, I wondered if that would be our last good performance of the season and whether we would see the players ease back off the throttle. Far from it! We have played 4 more games and have won 2 drawn 2. We are still the form team and still racking up the points. We can still get 93 points and are only 3 off reaching 100 league goals. What a fantastic season!
