This hype about Dee coming here to challenge for a top six berth din't materialize, there was very little flair, no fight and were completely bossed by us in the first half. There was a tricky wind to contend with and we did not master it. Some excellent play and passing and chances were made but not put away. Some good through balls too but all fractionally too strong. The shots that were put in on target were capably handled by the Dee Keeper. The first half was certainly all ours and we should have won the game by half time.
Second half they controlled the wind behind them much better than we ;had done yet still didn't show any real fight and continued to fall down whenever tackled.Willie the ****** helped their cause by continually giving them free kicks, the falling down was so obvious it seemed to really frustrate our side who were beginning to wonder if they should tackle.
Their goal was a gift a mistake in defence a pass to an unguarded player and a well taken shot, albeit saveable in my opinion, put them ahead.
Then an all action ICTwith precision passing and great intent found Graeme in space to rocket the ball into the back of the net, a cracker that earned him MOM.....much more of that would be welcome!
Ofere is a grafter and came close on two occasions both of which got me onto my feet thinking he had scored
No question we were the better team but once again we didn't put away a bundle of chances. Not a bit downhearted though we can still win the rest of our games.
Noteable point with just time to mount a final attack Draper hurriedly ran to pick up a ball that went past the post to speed up play, gave it to Ryan who faffed about placing it and slowly took the kick.
I would like to see Ofere and Brill start our next games
