Yes the ref was rubbish and yes he did make a big contribution to Staines's defeat, but leave him aside for a moment. I would say that Staines only really looked good after they went down to 9 men. They played with passion and purpose then. The trouble is that for the first 75 minutes they didn't, whereas Wealdstone, who football wise were certainly no better than Staines, played as if they knew that a win was vital.
Pashaj should have scored twice, once in the first half when he blazed into row Z and once when in the second when he shot wide. Those misses proved costly.
The season is coming up to half way through and if Staines are to escape the drop they need to get out of the "we nearly did it" mindset and actually do it. Charles and Bassett could form a good partnership up front and the midfield is doing OK ( especially Lodge), but the defence will be the ruin of everything unless it gets its act together. Yesterday's goal just should not have happened.
There is still time though. 6 points is a lot to make up but certainly not impossible.
