We started the game well and bossed most of the first half playing good tempo hard committed challenges and on another day we would have 2up.The ref gave them.an unbelievable penalty for them to have 1-0. Lead which Farnborough didnt deserve.After the break we switched off from a throw to go 2 down and a blatant dive saw us go 3 down from another pen.Their 4th was a fine shot maybe our keeper could have down better and our consolation another pen.What to take from this first half Excellent.A sending off didnt help towards the end pf the game.But some things l notice.Twice we had free kicks 30 yrds out in the second half.The first one Micbeal Bryan tries a shot that would never score and a short routine goes out of play Surely there must be planning by the coaches in training for this.The ball on the both occasions should be put in the mixer the box.To me thats a Lack of planning and not good enough.Serious work on crossing and getting shots on target.I saw the players warm up doing a keep the ball routine.Bin that and practice shooting and crossing.If people are saying were unlucky at the moment remember Golfers Gary Players words The Harder l Work The Luckier l Get.We are still in 6th and fighting and vital we get stuck in and beat Poole next Saturday.Come On You Reds .

Yes it was a tough afternoon, agree we started well and it was hard to be a goal down at HT to what I thought was a soft penalty decision, especially hard to take when you think of all the pushing and shoving the Dorchester defence did to us last Saturday when the Ref gave us nothing.
Second half we were second best and Farnborough were no doubt the superior team.
Would be great if we could break our winless run but two difficult games cup and league coming up. The lads are going to have to dig deep.

Very disappointing out come to the game.
As said, at times we played pretty well. We do need to find the ball in to the danger areas much quicker but most importantly get back to how we played before Christmas when we were denying the opposition space to play. Defending starts from the front, every player needs to work to shut the opposition down. So many chances are conceded with our opponents not having to do very much.

Some very good points Middlesex Wanderer l thought the first half the team unit did really when not having the ball and when we came under pressure in the second it wasnt so intense the tracking back.Good Point you make if the opposition are going to score against us make it bloody hard! Not soft Pens etc.There needs to be far more attention to set plays and obviously crosses and shots on goal some hard Yakka as the Aussies say(Work!) But Next Saturday however we do it 3points vital!
