On two points dropped
Massively 2 points dropped, but on the whole, we've got to be totally honest with ourselves that, that's not good enough for Marske United a in terms of performance.
In terms of where we were at and the standards that we set, because I think that's all we can go off. The players set the standards I think against Matlock with ten men for what? 65 minutes. And the desire, the effort and the way they controlled the game with ten men.
I think today. They've come. They were stuck on the M62. They got here at, I think about 25 past 7. They've had about 5 minutes warm up. And we just haven't executed the plan.
We wanted the balls in behind, get Bosh turned. Get Eddie in behind and I think the first time we turned them after I think 30 minutes, 27 minutes was the goal was the goal scored. Bosh, great run made it off into Macca’s path and Josh Mac’s finished it.
So really frustrating, but then we went in half-time one nil up. I don’t know how.
On the fantastic goalkeeping
Nathan Harker has been absolutely outstanding tonight. The kids made two. Or three unbelievable saves and we've got lucky. Obviously they scored. I think the lads offside.
We, the home keeper should not have to make that many saves and credit to the kid who’s come in.
He's been an absolute breath of fresh air. He's been outstanding, been outstanding, all the games, you know, the only frustrating thing is the poor kid hasn't kept a clean sheet yet and that's not his fault.
Game Management
Just a little bit of frustration in terms. Of what's happened. Because then they go 2 nil. But we gotta be better. We managed the game better, move the ball better and we didn't and we let them get back in the game through.
Macca (Dave Mctiernan) talks about it. Second phase, corners come in, I think Ken's made a great header at the front post. It's gone 20 foot in the air.
And then the second phase just just the header down and the lads in on goal, and it's just so frustrating. 2-1. You want and then you could just see their momentum.
If we could just see now another 5-10 minutes, I think we could have killed their momentum and it could have been better for us, but we didn't.
And then they've got a second goal? Cheap throw-in far side goal. Comes in and obviously poor George scores an own goal, not blaming the kid because obviously he he's trying to defend it and it's gone in.
There's nothing we can do there, but then they capitulated in terms of getting a man sent off.
The Red Cards
What he got sent off for, I'm not so sure. So they've gone down to 10 then.
Then I mean, it's a blatant handball. He's he's in on goal and to go...but I just don't think we moved the ball well enough. 9 v 11 we've got to make the pitch big.
We've got to be cleverer. We've got to be better on the ball. We've got to make better decisions. I think we got to help each other out.
