Dunno like. I thought we have been confident and up for it from the off with Pritchard very good. They looked much more likely to score and we were shaky at the back but from a footballing perspective we have out in a good half.

I thought we competed really hard but just couldn’t get a hold of the ball until they went 2-0 up. Then we really grew it into. I think it’s as good a performance as any of us could have hoped for
 
Decent half overall. Certainly haven't embarrassed ourselves. Biggest difference between the two teams is the final ball. We have created decent openings but our final ball/cross has been poor.
 
Frustrating to concede from a corner and they do look very dangerous going forward but they way we've set up gives us opportunities on the break, although they may score again.

Broadhead was a huge part of us stretching them, moving Gooch up was definitely the right choice rather than AOB, but still a big blow. Pritchard, Neil & Winchester all look very comfortable playing the ball around under pressure, Doyle too even though he did have one big error on his right foot.
