I didn't think today's performance was that bad, although bearing in mind Solihull were bottom of the League this morning. I thought we dominated the rest of the game and Coxy and Smith were good again, didn't think Webby or Baylo were that bad, heaven knows why Marvin Thompson was substituted. Perhaps the players were sick of looking at his new mohican!
I missed their goal in the first couple of minutes as I was still getting my burger. City had all the play after that - I thought referee had a poor first half. Muzzie needs to go one of those anger management courses too. Why can't players just let things go. it ain't worth getting heated up when the ref has final say. You lose out in the long run with bookings and suspensions.
The only thing we didn't seem to do was have many strong shots on target and I think their keeper only had to make a couple of saves. Admittedly the ball was often lifted into the air but we seemed to win more than we normally do (but again, bear in mind our opposition). But we kept winning the ball and controlling it, just let down by poor finishing. And we hit the post. That summed it up.
It was an encouraging performance I thought, I think we were very unlucky to come away with nothing.
This now leaves us 4th from bottom within the drop zone. But we have a good side with some talented players so i'll be very surprised if that's where we still are come the end of season. Elsewhere Chippenham were thrashed 5-0 at home by Histon, and Halesowen moved to the top with a with a win at King's Lynn. Still a long, long way to go.
