The Visit to Brackley

A tidy ground , very much in a Ridgeons premier style. The pitch looked like it was a snooker table but had more ripples in it than a pond that was being used for a stone skimming championship.
I am one of those happy with a point from the game. I thought Brackley got into us quickly and gave us very little space throughout the game and the loss of JT before the game and Francis during the game also gave them an advantage. I thought we did ok (especially after the loss of Francis and the change in tactics this caused) in the first half and should of gone in 2 up if Fisk could shoot.Second half was not amazing we let them get at us , although if the Frew header had snuck in the game would of been over.Defensively we look still look strong and i thought yet again apart from getting beat for the first header when they scored (Warren was beaten for the header that went in) CD was again superb.
Well done the lad Francis for a very brave goal and the knee in the face he took for the team.He supposedly didn't know he had scored even after the game!
I am a bit perplexed that our manager went on a scouting mission when we have a game. This does not make me a happy man especially when tactical changes were needed at crucial points in the game. Get some else to do the scouting . Send your assistant! who tactically did not cut the mustard on Tuesday night.
Finally Adam Smith was poor again and deserved to be substituted for the second game in a row. If he had been took off then perhaps we could of bought on DB instead of having a non attacking midfield. Yet another player who briefly visits the pro-game and comes back thinking he's a big time Charlie.. Lincoln City my arse!
Finally I have got to say what a nice friendly club Brackley was.
