Well, we got away with that. Saying that with the early pen it logically speaking had to be a red card as their defender who fouled Rankine was the last man. If they go down to 10 that early then it's a different game. Nice to be confident about us taking pens these days though for a change. Rankine sent their eccentric GK the wrong way. However, increasingly as the half wore on and then into the Second half Lem took control and must have slung about 30 odd crosses into our box, looked like we'd just about got away with it but it had been coming for about 30 minutes. Deasy had made a number of good saves too.
ET they had the momentum but Rankine scored a cracker, powerful shot that dipped underneath the bar, though arguably their keeper who fancied himself as an outfield player was too far off his line.
Whilst they undoubtedly would have raised their game it was far from a vintage display. Frankly, thank god it's all over. I hope we don't have to go back anytime soon. The pitch in the corners was a sandpit and bumpy but playable. The two new lads at Bognor on Tuesday should hopefully give us a spark.
