Re: Nantwich updates

Had some issues posting on here so my take on last nights game is slightly delayed and maybe reviewed slightly different having had more time to digest it.
I don't know if it was the worst performance of the season last night, I thought maybe Workington (Non-league day) was slightly worse as we never looked like scoring in a million years that day. I thought we were ok in patches last night but to be honest, we were a touch fortunate to get something out of the game.
I don't think anyone can deny the effort and commitment these players give, but I feel that sometimes they fall short of what is required at this level.
Nantwich were by no means special but they seemed to have a bit more about them, despite their supposed injury problems. I guess that comes with experience though.
However we carried on going and managed to get the equaliser and could have even won it in the dying seconds so fair play to the lads for that.
Maybe it boils down to a lack of confidence as well as to why we kept reverting back to the 'long ball' tactics. But again, we did not get beat and we are showing we can at least compete at this level rather than being thrashed every week.
Finally, on a disappointing note, the attendance last night -only 298 which I feel is a bit shocking to be honest. I could understand if it was a freezing cold night in December but not a fairly mild night in September. Mind you, it was probably the noisiest it's been down the Grove this season as we actually sung for a change last night and also fair play to the Nantwich fans as I thought their fans were excellent.
