Penalty converted by Young

Sounds like its all been us in the 2nd half after a very poor 1st 45

There's a video of us having a goal disallowed from an out swinging corner for offside!?!?

Didn’t turn up 1st half,St Albans scoring with their only attempt. Really really poor. 2nd half (when WJD and Morgan rightly taken off) we were better with Mussa and Young our better players. Scored with the softest of penalties when it was slightly shocking the ref gave it, scored again from a corner but it had seemingly gone out of play from the kick so disallowed. Had a period after that for 10-15 mins when we should have scored again with the goal living a charmed life and the ball hitting the bar and post on separate occasions After that and the last 10 it was pretty even and we rarely threatened. This result really came about from not being at the races for the first 45. At least we didn’t lose. My first visit to St Albans and will enjoy coming back next year if we don’t make it. I bet it’s nicer in the late summer, spring time though! Freezing today!

Listening to the BBC commentary, for the umpteenth time this season we didnt turn up for half the match, it cant be travelling on the day, most teams in our league do that, can it be that dreaded third strip or could it be the wrong starting eleven or a mentality issue, I know not, but it was obvious that once mussa came on second half we posed a threat,that we could not finish is not something new for us, our final third iis something that is becoming our achilles heel,it is not a lack of chances, we could have had five second half, but we urgently need a clinical finisher.

Well it's nothing to do with what shirts we are wearing ! Seems to be a mentality issue, unless it's addressed we won't finish in the top three. We cannot seem to put away teams at the bottom.
You would think an even tougher test awaits on Tuesday against a better team on a plastic pitch
I know Young scored but why didn't Cooke take the penalty ?
