Have to agree Chris, their keeper had an excellent game, although helped by our inability to finish. One other point who decides who takes penalties.? Is it the Manager or Captain ? I think Golding has already missed this season , surely it shound have been Adams.
Thought the game highlighted where we need to improve for next season. We have a good keeper, talented defenders in Rowe, Christie, Cruttwell and Beale, good midfield players in Dixon, Adams and Lovatt but we are very lightweight up front. Ade Olorunda would have terrorised that Shoreham defence and I think we need a player like that to complement all the build up work that goes in.
Yes, it did feel as if a bit of attacking height would've made all the difference. The number of crosses that whistled low through the six yard box without getting a decisive touch was absurd; Shoreham were practically defending on their goal-line much of the time and surely wouldn't have been able to cope with an aerial threat. The question, of course, is whether you can add that extra element without compromising the quality of the approach work.
Thought Shoreham were both completely terrible and highly creditable. They're clearly way, way short of what's required to survive...but for a team whose negative goal difference will probably hit three figures by the end of the season, they weren't half prepared to fight for each other and to scrap for everything. As others have said, their keeper had a tremendous game, but there were a huge number of last-ditch blocks and clearances too. Most teams would've given up or collapsed into disarray long ago.
