Thoughts From the Manager - Julian Richens
- We have worked incredibly hard tonight and put a real performance in but unfortunately wasn't enough. We had some very good transition moments midway through the second half to create and possibly kill the game - we have to do a better job there of creating better chances in those situations.
- We will regroup over the next few days and it's these games that will strive our players for a full 90 minute performance.
