Just wanted to say thanks for the hospitality; the welcome we got in the clubhouse was very friendly and I have to say, I think you have a great lttle set-up there. Shame the bar was closed at half time, there were a number of Dimaonds fans that would have paid good money over the bar, seemed like a strange decision not to open it, still, perhaps they expected more people to turn up and pay the extra ?2 to sit, but a strange one nonetheless.
The match was dreadful and whilst I was delighted with the result (obviously) I thought the game was pretty dire to be honest. I know the conditions didn’t help, but our lads really didn’t look up for it. I would have thought you were gutted to have lost that, I thought your lads had done enough to get a draw, or even win, in the last 10 minutes, you finished very strongly. You should be proud of them, they did okay I thought, especially your keeper who pulled off a few really good stops. Overall I thought you deserved a draw at the very least and the chance to visit Nene Park - but it wasn’t to be
As supporters we were very quiet yesterday, I think many of us were talking amongst ourselves about the off field troubles we have rather than focusing on the game (bit like our players really), which in truth did little to draw our attention.
We can play much better than that, but we as a club are in turmoil at the moment and yesterday’s team had a few new faces in it and many players playing out of their normal positions - the performance looked like it, very disjointed !! Still, job done as far as we are concerned and on to the next round and hopefully a home draw, but I would have sacrificed yesterday’s win for 3 points next Saturday against Stafford in the Conference !!
All the very best for the season, I left with a very good view of Witton Albion and its fans.
