I might look daft at FT but I can see the logic of giving Colclough a breather whilst we have others available.

Nice to see Andy White back - I hope he takes his chance.

Think Colclough wasn’t feeling too good apparently

I don't mean any ill to Digie. Honestly I don't.

But why aren't we bringing on Densmore's experience when we're closing out a game like that?

If we were trying a back three, I despair.

Why did the ref get his card out then realised the Barnet lad was already booked then put the card back in his pocket.

If this is the case as described on Radio Robins then that is disgraceful.

Densmore for Morgan, it should have been, but hey ho, it sounds like we were much better. Gutted though.

Think Malarkey went RB. Think the sub was to put more height on the pitch at a hope of defending Barnet'sl long balls into the box.

Proper sucked to concede so late but we've had our fair share of scoring them.

Their only tactic was long ball so digie sub was for extra height I presume. No idea what happened with the book I g that never was. Looked like he went for his top pocket at one point so I was thinking straight red, didn’t realise he had already been booked as well. Didn’t look red worthy tbf

Beat me to it!

On a pitch you could turn round on without falling over we’d have won that

Really pleased with what I’ve heard about this game from the London Alty lads present. All 3 of our new (old) signings made their debuts & played well. Hulme getting an assist & apparently will be the Non League Papers MOTM. Just such a shame we couldn’t hold on for a deserved win but much more encouraged this morning. Rumours there may be one more signing to come next week as well.

Listening to the commentary and to those who went, we sounded more like us. Pleasing to hear Hulme worked hard, as did our other signings.

The goal however, not sure why two players are going to head the same ball, desperate probably to keep it out.

We have to find a way to win, by hook or by crook 5o get that momentum. But it feels like we're on the right path.

It'll give us a better idea where we can get to on Tuesday.
I'd settle for being competitive. Any points would be a real bonus but you never know we might surprise a few people.
On a side note (and not being sarky) nice to see HashtagAlty feeling a bit more optimistic! 👍

Aye, pretty much. It was just one of those unfortunate hacks forward that we'd dealt with all game but the last one worked.

Agree with all comments here. It was another step back towards the Alty we can expect. A draw was a fair result as we didn't particularly create much (I can recall a Mooney effort in the first half and Hancock blazing over from the edge of the box in the second) - but neither did they.

It was great to have a focal point that gave defenders something to think about. Typical bullish Hulme performance and an intelligent run to create space and assist Pringle.

I think almost all fans stayed to applaud at the end which is always a good idea of the immediate takeaway from the game.

Heads up and keep working at it. We will be fine.

I'm afraid I think Hashtag and I have swapped over!

The manager effectively swaps out two of his back line with 5 minutes to play, removes one of our best players, pushes a decent enough header of the ball out to right back, and brings someone on completely cold to the game. And then I hear we've conceded because two players have gone for the same ball. Sorry but that doesn't happen with the existing personnel in place.

When I saw we'd made that sub, I feared the worst. What a ridiculous decision.

Didn’t count but I’d say a good number more than at Woking which was a similar distance and much better weather so I was pleasantly surprised by our turn out
