A rare trip up from the midlands for me and the lad to watch the game yesterday and I agree with most of what's been said.
Our deficiencies in midfield were all too obvious with Aldershot able to break through and put pressure on our defense at will in the first half. Maynard was poor and gave the ball away cheaply, I do wonder if Wallace might have been the better choice to keep hold of the ball and give us more options for playing the ball on the floor.
Norwood doesn't look like scoring but his work rate is second to none, he was my MOTM yesterday and would be the first name on my teamsheet. The challenge for Micky is how to fit Nors, Stockton and Cook into the side. I thought Cook did very well when he came on and looked more comfortable playing the long ball we insisted on playing all day. Mention for Scott Davies too who made some good saves.
Was great to have some atmosphere at PP for once, it's been understandably lacking in recent years. Real buzz around the kop.
I really think the play-offs are a bit of a lottery, regardless of where you finish. It's going to be tough, I thought Aldershot were better than us yesterday and our record against the other top teams is also poor. We're going to need some luck and some mental strength if we're to go up this season. If Micky had been in from day-one it might have been a different story.
