Holy sh*t. Mate of mine text me saying we didn't actually play that badly.
Must have been at a different game to me, first half we were OK but you could tell Town were a class above us, second half we were diabolical from 1 to 11, couldn't hold the ball up front, non-existent midfield and defence dragged all over the place. 3 of Town's goals were gifts and that's annoying.
A couple of McCall's decisions baffled me tonight, no Thorne for starters (Conlon was abysmal) and then the substitutions - if he wanted to protect Thorne then why bring him on at 2 down? and TJ Moncur on at right midfield? Bizarre to say the least.
I don't get into these pissing contests about fans, but I have to say our following was superb tonight. The away end was practically full (they had to remove the covering on the end blocks as more and more came in) so that was 4k out of an attendance of 8900 - and we deserved better than that performance.
Bad news about Topp too, though not entirely surprising, when the deal was done last season McCall seemed to not know too much about it or the player, and he's clearly regarded as 4th choice striker at best, to be fair I wouldn't be happy if Barry Conlon was rated above me.
That's the optimism well and truly gone anyway!
