Clean sheet.☑
3 points.☑
Up to 2nd.☑
A game slightly of the old football adage - game of 2 halves.
We dominated the 1st half and should have been out of sight, but we fell away in the 2nd half. And struggled to control the ball.
The pleasing aspect though was that we never gave up trying.
And the team spirit at the goal with nearly everyone celebrating with Miovski was a joy to see.
My picks of the match were Pandur ( kept us in the game ), Neil ( on his first half showing ), Gassama ( was a threat going forward ) and Naderi ( who again worked his socks off ).
Bouanani looks a decent acquisition on his debut showing.
Onwards and upwards.🔴⚪🔵

Good insight MPH. I feel certain players are still too slow and static in our build up play, and I was frustrated at our reluctance to move the ball forward. Improvements needed for the weekend to get a result, but I am more confident than I was a few weeks ago.

Rumours on here a few weeks ago about a 'clear the air' meeting (maybe even some fisticuffs).
Whatever happened has worked wonders. In the very next game, the team showed real fight. Now, 4 wins in a row.
Nowhere near the finished article, but definitely moving in the right direction.

Aye, I think it's those moments that frustrate the life out of the fans in the stadium, Fourlads.
Though, the opposite of that is we should be moving the ball forward with purpose rather than just moving the ball forward and losing possession.

Good round up, MPH.

Agreed, MPH. I am hoping that moving with purpose comes. We are certainly showing steady signs of improvement. 💪🏻
