Gawd, what a knee trembler!! Giving them the lead after 3mins didn’t exactly help either.

The game of two very average sides who are devoid of confidence

Once again we are utterly incapable of defending competently, and this always kept the mackems in with a shout, even during a 20 min spell in the 2nd half when we were all over them – but where any long straight ball down the middle was invariably enough to cause us fits – as indeed has been the case all season.
