We haven’t won a game of football in 90 minutes, bar the tinpot reserve match v Chelsea Under 9s, since Shrewsbury. We need to break that ASAP.
Some good performances, especially from Forde, providing some positives despite the result. Thought Stevens made some good saves and looks really comfortable with the ball at his feet - looks to get the ball moving from both his hands and on the deck which helps keep the tempo up. Sam Long is, as ever, a proper trooper. We just need to be stronger and more ruthless, and punish teams when they’re there to be put to the sword. Nastiness is something we really need to develop.
Let’s get the season going on Saturday.
