It was.
No way Austin is getting in that position from our penalty area that quickly, he could barely move.  Cheesy

Point each probably a fair result. Without meaning to lay into Lindsey too much still, the marked difference between his regime and whatever we’ve got now, was that even at 3-1 down at HT, I felt confident we’d be getting something from the game in the end. Wouldn’t have had that previously.

That said I was questioning whether I’d dropped something in my pre match cuppa, first half, such were the opening 20 minutes so fucking psychedelic. The defending, the penalty given for being smashed in the face at point blank range, the formation with a midfield of Khan and…..Khan? Absolute madness all round. Glad we changed it soon after but that was a pretty criminal set up giving a team we should be beating at home a 2 goal head start.

At least it was exciting.

The biggest positive for me yesterday was Austin's second goal. His movement in getting in front of his man and the finish.
We have the best striker in the division, now let's hope Morris sorts out the obvious shortcomings and we are going up.

Fun fact, Charlie Austin is now tied 4th for our top scorer of the season after two games:

Williams 8
Jephcott/Wakeling 5
Darcy/Shade/Austin 3

Also on Jephcott and Wakeling - neither have scored since November 12th (Wakeling) or October 29th (Jephcott).

Austin is clear as our top scorer in the last three months, despite playing two games in that period. Lavinier and Williams have two each.

Shambolic defending coupled in with some rotten officiating in the first 20. Wasn’t shocked mind you, we had the same ref forest green away last season and he was just as shit towards us.

Brennan bullied the entire game. Far too weak. FBT my MOM - brilliant. Need a left back with a left foot ideally. Iandolo fucking shite, be unreal business to sell him and get somehow get money. Easily replaced. Sentiment the only thing with him now and sandro has zero time for that. Khan a great player, but he’ll never played above League 1. He’s got no fucking brain, second time this season, and he’s been close to a double yellow in other games. Hepburn Murphy brilliant assist but criminal not to square. Cain looked good

Crying out for centre halves. Need two, 1 replacement and 1 extra body. Gladwin replacement and another 1 or 2 needed imo. If they flog Williams….. wow. Surely not.
Agree with all of this.

Well that was a match and a half!

Quick start, shambles defending and I couldnt believe he gave a pen for that, you could see it from space, that was terrible.

3-1 down and i thought that was that, they would spoil and hand on.

Pen for us was a leveller...never.

Could of won it.

Lets get the new Manager in, players in and out and go again v the Taffs.

One thing is for sure, two games on the bounce and i have left the CG having been excited a welcome change to the turgid stuff we were having to endure.

I'm never too hard to convince to go back to the pub when things are fucking shit, but its more about the performance and how we're looking.

I always thought we looked the better side, it was just a question of time. One bad defensive mistake and then absolutely royally fucked in the ass by the officials and suddenly we're 3-1 down.

I was always confident we'd score, it was just a case of if it was a consolation, a draw or a win as long we didn't go and do something silly at the back again.

It was more encouraging than a lot of Lindseys wins.

He may have missed but, if it was criminal to shoot, I wonder what pelters DHM would have taken had he opted out of shooting and passed instead to Darcy without a goal resulting?

A perfect pass - and with no chance of interception - would not have been materially easier than shooting.  Credit to the other Morris, the Gills keeper, for a great save and also positioning.  

Tbf, Messi would have feinted to pass to Darcy on his right and taken it round the keeper the other way and slid it into an empty net.
