I think this is the worst game I've seen the Res play so far.
Witham started the game well and fought hard for the ball for the first 30 mins, we then started to put together some passes and looked good for a while.
Andy Hughes scored with a shot from a fairly acute angle in the 33rd min.
Witham equalised after a defensive miss control left them with a 1-on-1 against the keeper.
1-1 at the break.
In the second half they came out with the same determination as the first and took the lead with about 15 mins to go, from a penalty.
During the last 15 mins, we just couldn't get the ball in the net due to a variety of reasons, no urgency, lack of commitment fighting for the secondary ball, hit the post from short range and some dodgy linesman decisions. The ref blew the whistle with the ball in the air which went into the net over the keeper.
Lots of excuses could be made but at the end of the day Witham wanted the win more than us and were willing to fight harder to get it.
Learn from our mistakes, and, go out a win the rest of the games.
Every team can have one bad game a season and still win the league.
