I’ll take the point considering how bad we were for most of the second half.

Williams and KKH must start, also a recall for Jojo after Wards poor distribution today. |

Williams isn't an obvious impact sub but seems to be very effective at pushing the tempo of a game as the opposition tire. Not a great result, but a decent enough one.

Got out of jail there, but should have won that easily with the first half domination.
Terrible second half performance.
Terrible decision to take off McKirdy.
The second half needed Grant to come on and break up midfield. Reed was overrun on his own.

Two tough games coming up Sutton just above us and Bradford just below |

Reeds poorest game so far in a Town shirt, Simpson not far behind him too, both of them unusually so.

Not sure I agree. The distribution in front of Ward was worse. But yes, I think Wollacott to come back. I think Hunt would be unlucky to be replaced by KKH. Who do you leave out for Williams? |

Unfortunately pre game I was speaking to a couple of fellow TEFers and suggested exactly that would happen. |

I reckon Wollacott comes back in Tuesday as Ward’s poor kicking second half seemed start off all the sloppiness at the back. Also second half showed there’s still a big need for Grant to in the squad.

Not sure how many long kicks from Ward found their intended target but it wasn't many. Williams for Iandolo (I know it wont happen though) and KKH for Hunt who Garner obviously doesnt rate much. |

Thought we got away with one there. The second half was a shambles from Conroy, Crichlow and Iandolo (bar one great saving tackle) and Garner.
Conroy played the entire second half like a player nursing an injury or trying to show everyone he was playing through one. Whichever way, a Manager with a bit of ruthlessness should have pulled him off when he sat on the floor nursing his ankle. He'd already been strolling/limping around and he kept that going for the remainder of the game.
Crichlow seemed to let the last game or two go to his head and the easy first half combined with that over confident thinking to create a second half performance of mistake after mistake.
Iandolo - that tackle was game saving as it turned out, so he is almost absolved. But he was useless. I'm not sure what has happened to him because he has never been good at defending but always had a good cross in him. That has vanished, his final ball has been atrocious. On the plus side, he chickened responsibility twice which led to Gladwin putting in the cross we scored from.
Garner - didn't change that backline when it needed it. McKirdy was still creating. His decision making seemed like it was born from a prescription of what we were going to do as opposed to being able to identify the issues and fix/change things.
First half I thought we looked quite good, so it was as if we felt we could just see it out.
At the end of the day we got a point, you take it, brush yourselves down and realise that when we play to our best we are better than most. As they say, this one probably needs us to be goldfish, just forget it (apart from Garner, remember it and learn).
