What a glorious sunshiny day, it was like the middle of summer down here. Shame about the result.
I think City were unlucky to lose yet again - a draw would have been a fair result. Two penalties awarded against us (their first was dubious to say) the second I couldn't see. Chloe's fave,
Lee Smith was fantastic again with two excellent goals the first about 10 mins before the break with a looping header which went across the face of goal. Hempstead resorted to dirty Stevenage-style tactics (must be something in the Herts water) and their keeper deservedly got a yellow for blatantly wasting time. Pansies who kept falling over blades of grass.
Three areas I would like to see improvements in: improved communication between players, there was hardly any today; if our team is so small why play the ball in the air as we did in the last 30 minutes?; and lastly, I hate singling out players for criticism, but there were certain players who just weren't committed and shouldn't have been played IMHO when there were better players sat on the bench who could have filled the same position (even though they looked like they were playing out of position. In one case. we may not see his appearance again, thankfully.
Lee Davis should have started, not come on as a sub.
Good to see an away team bring more than 5 supporters too (I counted six I think
)
At least Cirencester Town got hammered 5-0, Forest Green lost (6 out of 6 for the Cotswolds side now
) and Ch*%$@nham didn't win.
