Tamworth 0 IRON 0

[orangenblue]

Not surprised, we always have problems scoring against teams that have a player or two sent off.

[1672]

And lower than us in the table!

While not wishing to appear ungrateful over what the teams been achieving, this is an area that Devonshire could look at. Playing ten men should be a godsend but we don't adjust our game enough to capitalise on it. I've seen earlier games when we've 'struggled' against 10 and once a 9 man opposition (wasn't at Tamworth)and we just carried on playing our usual game. Sides often try harder when a man down, so that can normally be countered by exhausting them by playing the passing game, taking the ball wide and making them run about. Windy conditions don't help as long passes will lose accuracy.

It would have been good if we had taken advatage of the situation considering that Luton drew and Kiddi lost.
However an away draw is better than a defeat.
In the premier League Hull couldn't convert their two man advantage over Sunderland into more goals.
Cest la vie.

Given the blustery conditions, I'll take the point and move on. Bigger challenges lie ahead.

A scrappy game played in very blustery conditions. Very few shots on target to test either keeper, although Dan was unlucky
to hit the bar late on as his turn and shot deserved a goal.

No outstanding performances but IMO another point gained rather 2 lost. Feel sure we will play better next week against Newport.

[braintreeboy]

Shame to not have won there, however I think we would all have taken this points tally n position at the start of the season. If we do play better next week n progress against Newport then yesterday will be very much forgotten anyway

[ontheterrace]

Just noticed on the club website that Nik Hamman was in goal yesterday. Was Nathan injured or rested?

[4whatitsworth]

Rested/dropped to give Nik a game.
