The Reserves Vs Histon Res

My first viewing of the reserves this season was a real mixed bag.
The first good news was that a couple of bottles of Newcastle Brown were rescued from the VIP lounge making me much happier than at half time on Monday.
The Game
The only first team player involved was Murray in goal which surprised me a bit as i half expected to see John Turner involved to get some match fitness.
We had 3 great chances in the first 5 minutes to score but flunked each one with an F.
Histon who had a few first team squad players involved then took control of the game and scored from the penalty spot after Murray had stroked a Histon players legs so delicately that it could hardly of even tickled him. More soft refereeing !
Then they made it two after Robbie Palmer failed to close down a player on the corner of the 6 yard box. This was after 30 minutes and the heads of the players with the exception of Lee Hyde had gone down already.Sad!
Histon had countless chances to extend the lead but failed somehow.
After a talking too! Really ? The team came out for the second half had just started playing and then the manager Steve Lilley made a triple substitution?? Why not just do it at half time and why a triple. To me that is a hell of a risk with 40 minutes plus football left to play. Odd! Low and behold two minutes later Lee Hyde goes down with a hamstring problem/dead leg ..Just as well it was him for any other player would of meant we were down to ten men.
Somehow the game now became more evenly matched and we dragged our way back in to the game with a pinball goal put in by Liam Forshaw(nothing against the lad but how is his resigning productive for the club & with all due respect he won't be pushing for a first team place)
Then just as it looked like the game was going to be lost up pops Captain Marvel Hyde with a bit of Pele skill and scores the equaliser.
Overall the boy Dwyer looks good,Why play Vincent in a defensive midfield role? Palmer and Forshaw Why?
The manager ..ummm.....
Relegation? I would not be surprised at all
Good game though.
