Creditable point and performance overall away at Nerdford. I thought we performed well in the first half and again look a team difficult to get at and we managed to score when we was on top. The only way they got level was with an absolute belter of a goal from Matt Willock, I was right in line with it and sometimes all you can do is step back and acknowledge a worldy of a goal.
Second half Nerdford clearly upped the tempo and more out of their attacking players, Lawrence Vigouroux made 5 saves, they had a goal ruled out for a tight offside and they missed a guilt edged far post header to nick the win - we rode our luck in terms of chances, but we did still force periods of pressure and balls into the box despite not really creating too much.
If we actually manage to get a bit more depth into our squad - particularly up front, I feel we can do well as I keep saying. As hard as Aaron Drinan worked for us today, he has very little attacking intelligence or nous. We had a very, very young bench, so to get something out of today was pleasing.
Nerdford showed their attacking threats in the second half, I feel a weaker team would've eventually lost to them today as they do have some quality forward players - That Asante looks a good find.
