and disappointment is not away yet…

 

I find it hard to disagree with other post-match postings to this lovely
list, not much to add, really.

 

Nice to have the game on BBC1, meaning I had perfect conditions to watch the
game in my own living room. The atmosphere was high all way.

 

Am I the only one thinking we had some decent possession and play first
half? It might be my glasses of course, but I sort of was feeling that their
goals was coming against the run of play. Over 90 minutes though, they
deserved the win…

 

It is not pre-season any more, the race for real points into the account is
on. This race is harder in division 2 (championship) than division 3 (league
1), with more speed etc. We can make fewer mistakes, because we will pay the
penalty when we do. As loosing the ball in the midfield. Only goally
Schmeichel stood between us and a really demoralizing 1-5 (or something),
but then again, the keeper is also part of the team, and it’s not the first
time in history a goalkeeper influence on the result.

 

Grayson really has a lot to work on this coming week. I missed Snodgrass a
lot, feeling not happy that this guy in Bergen tried to kill him in a
friendly(!). On the other hand, our squad on this level should be good
enough to play football without all players available, as injuries and
suspensions will follow throughout the season. I also missed Beckford, and
can’t believe that a replacement was not on the shopping list this summer.
Most of all I missed solid defending at the back, and some creativity up
front. And a midfield connecting those two. Ups… 

 

Anyway, good to have the season going, good to not be in division 3, good to
be on telly, good to watch the new white kit, good to celebrate a goal and
good to look forward to next game. We need to beat back, poor Forest…
