An unusual match, many times Phil Parkinson has said we were unlucky not to get anything out of the game, I think the opposite was true today.
Three brilliant goals early on in the game for us, but then we sat back and let Alfreton run large parts of the game, they will probaby come away from that wondering how they lost 3-1.
I still think with Poole and Hancock, we look a much more balanced team, otherwise Hulme receives no support at all, he was booked again, and I am sure he is just frustrated with the lack of support so takes it out on the referee.
The referee dug himself into a right hole, booking 5 Alty players, the Alfreton no 8. was involved with more than one incident leading to bookings, he blocked players, fell to the floor and pushed players, but the referee saw none of it.
Still, the first time we have scored in the first half at home in the league, a win at home in the league and some brilliant goals. So onwards to the FA Cup with some real hope, I just don't understand why Poole and Hancock are left out and think we are much better attacking team with them included and play higher up the pitch.
