After the Boxing Day derby game, this was like “after the Lord Mayor’s Show.”
For a start only 160 came to the game and there was no buzz about the place. Wayne Wallace has finished and will be moving back to Oz soon.
However, we had a blinder in the first half, we hit the bar 3 times, their keeper made some excellent saves and we scored 2 goals. One of which was a pearler from Nathan Cooke, who hit one from 30 yards that flew into the top right corner.
Second half, we were doing ok until Hoggy went off after about 10 minutes , by all accounts he’d not been feeling well for a day or two. Then it all went belly up, we lost all our shape, they bullied their way back into the game. Their equaliser was a another stunning effort from Nathan Cooke who headed in a cross.
We struggled for the last 1/3 rd of the game, and the tactics in that period were questionable. The refereeing in that period was woeful as well.
The bright points were Captain Tom Fleming and Billy Logan who had good games. Hoggy was as great as ever in his 55 minutes and seemed to be the difference when he was on.
Brighouse away on Tuesday and Hall Road away next Saturday. I probs wont be at either match, especially next Saturday as I’m taking the lad and his missus to see Liverpool v Stoke at Anfield – I hope Stoke putthe dampeners on his day
