I'll echo what's been said by others about the game. We played really well for an hour, moved the ball well, looked threatening and were the better team. A couple of bad errors, losing a ball in themiddle of the pitch for the secondgoal and leaving a man at the back post for the third goal, saw us go down. It'll be a lesson learned and I think that we'll benefit from having Danny Devine back in the middle.
Positives are that I thought Longstaff and Bray had good games, particularly in the first half. It's probably the best I've seen Longstaff play for us. Both faded when they were switched in the second half though. In midfield, the structure was good with Allan dropping deep and MacKinnon and Thompson ahead of him. Think Thompson might have been a bit match rusty.
The negatives were that we might have had a lot of the play but we didn't score when we were on top, we didn't press home our advantage. We also didn't force their keeper to do much - he had one save I think in the second half that you thought we might have scored but nothing beyond that. We really are lacking in attacking over - our only centre forward is Billy Mckay who is getting on. We don't even have anyone to play up front from the bench. Chatter before thegame was that Adam Brooks was one of our highest earners, up to £1000/week, so from that viewpoint I get why he was made redundant but it leaves us very thin up top.
Thought our fans were great, good to see a healthy travelling support who mainly stayed to the end.
