The Blues were much weakened by players away for Easter and we could only field a bare eleven. The boys did very well in the first half though and we had the best chance of the half when Scott pulled a shot just wide of the far post.
Right at the start of the second half we were caught cold at a set piece allowing Badshot a free header for 1-0. Credit to the boys though we continued to battle and Alex O was switched up front to support Scott and looked very lively. Unfortunately we were to concede two more quick goals - both again from set pieces - before we grabbed a consolation when Chris's corner was toed into his own net by a defender. Alex then had a great chance to score but his shot was saved and Jack too was clear but his half volley just went wide of the post. Badshot grabbed their fourth just before the end and against the run of play but overall they deserved their win in the end.
Marcus had a great first half dominating the game with strong heading and good clearances and Tyler gave him good support but in the second half, I'm afraid, the defensive side of our game was found wanting. We need to compete and challenge at corners and free kicks otherwise it's going to be a long, hard end of season run in for us.
Man of the Match - Chris Smith
