Solihull Away

Nearly a local derby for us this one with the journey only 2 hours each way ...
A
Lego style ground with one covered end and two flat open sides with a Swedish style bar area that seemed to go on and on ... Nice to see that the Gobby brum women is not a myth ... for the record love your girlfriend needs to lose a few pounds ....
The food was good ... a quality bacon roll.
Great to see Dom
Dwyer starting and he had a good full debut ... working hard and causing trouble to the centre halves.It was another good hard working performance all over the pitch with Thomas scoring the goal with a cheeky back heel..But what a way to give away the win ... I asked my lad ( aged 10 ) what he would do in the last minute of a game when you have the ball in the opposition corner .....
Do you look to keep
the ball and get a corner/throw in ?
Give away a free kick?
Or cross the ball into the area when you only have one person forward?
Even he got the right answer ... So why did Mitchell cross it and give the
Solihull the chance to attack... Why Why Why ???
We left the game inconsolable as were the management who we spoke to on the way out .. I even felt some sympathy for them.
If it goes to the wire then games like this are exactly the root cause ... We need to be much more professional.
