Another game we should have put to bed before the customary late sucker punch. To make it worse, they had two shots just miss right at the death !
Baldwin had a great first half, beating his full back time after time, and putting some good crosses in, but we just don't have anyone with a strikers nous, or a goal scoring midfielder. Both Evans and Harrison worked hard up front, but both lack a decent first touch. In very difficult conditions, WSC battled hard, and watching, you could sense them growing into the game, when they realised our limitations. Second half, Baldwin hardly saw the ball, and we tapered off as the game progressed. Their keeper made a couple of saves, but WSC could easily have nicked it at the end. On a bitterly cold freezing afternoon, I did question my sanity, tried to remember Nobby's team as light relief, as well as wondering how we can't beat mediocre teams who just have mainly endeavour to offer. A draw was what they deserved.
At least, clutching at straws, we've finally stopped playing tippy tappy around the centre halves 25 yards from our own goal, finally moved Forsyth into midfield, where Attoumani at least gives us a physical presence. Whatever the management might say, 6 points out of the last 21 tells its own tale.
