Very hard earned point today with our annual 2-2 home draw against a very good Shore team.
Shore started off the game the better team without really creating too many goalscoring chances. We took the lead through a great effort from fish outside of the box from Tommys McCulloughs through ball.I know Shore felt he was offide for it but I thought he was just on. Obviously I dont have the best of views, I thought Sexy maybe was offside but Fish was on. Anyway doesnt matter cause he gave it. Fish scored a second with a header from a Wiggsy free kick. We probably shouldve scored a third when leroy just couldnt connect to a cross 4 yards out after great work from Fish again. Shore got a goal back just before half time when after good work down the right the ball was squared across and it was finished well.
2nd half Shore came straight at us and came close a couple times. They scored their equaliser with basically the exact same goal they scored in the first half only down the other side.
I cant comment too much what happened for the next 20 minutes but Im told not much did! Close to the end Shore had a Willy Brown goal disallowed for offside and from where I seen it we got away with it as he looked on.
In all honestly bar those chances Ive mentioned there was no other clear cut chances even though both teams went for the win.
For 2 teams who try to get the ball down and play the last 20 minutes of the game were scrappy as f**k
(though again the pitch didnt help)
Disappointed to drop points after being 2-0 up but we couldve easily lost the game on another day so we'll take the point.
Think we missed Rab today at the back, he's been superb for us recently and didnt help Leroy was only about 3% fit too. A big positive for us is that were still not playing as well as we can do but were still picking up points, so hopefully alot more to come from us.
Anyway all the best to Shore for the rest of the season, fully expect to see you sitting right up there come May.
