What a night. We started the game really brightly, taking the lead with a great strike by Matt Green, but within the space of a few crazy minutes we found ourselves 3-1 down at home. Two poor goals conceded and a ridiculous penalty meant that we were up against it. Scoring just before half-time gave us a bit of hope but the half time team talk was still a bit fiery. What is said in the changing room between us stays between us and is said for the right reasons. It has to be forgotten when the whistle blows again and it was.
Credit to the lads as the second half performance was spot on, to be honest the first half wasn't that bad, we just got punished for slight errors.
I have to say that even when we went 3-1 down the fans stayed with us and cheered us on so a big thanks for that. I don't want to be returning home after drawing 3-3 with Forest Green and neither do the rest of the lads or the fans but that's how it is. It will be back to the training ground tomorrow to sort it out.
I overheard a footballer the other day moaning about his treatment at a club and of his life being tough at home at the moment as he is out of the team. Well cheer up mate, you have a couple of hundred grand in the bank and there are believe or not a few people worse of than you. I was walking the kids into school the other day and a young Mum of four lively children mentioned that she had seen me on TV the same day as her Husband. I asked her why her husband was on the box. She explained that he had been filmed along with his fellow soldiers on tour in Afghanistan. He has seven months on and two weeks off. So the children will see their dad for two weeks in April and then he will be off again for another seven months dodging bullets, car bombs and grenades. I reckon he would settle for being a footballer out of a team at the moment.
