Some really poor officiating throughout that half. Their 5 should have had a straight red for stamping - from where I was stood, Chike went down and handled the ball in the process as he knew he had lost it, so the 5 just went in with his boot catching Chike’s head.
Aside from playing against 13 it has been even. They have scored 1 of their 2 chances, both being gifts from poor defensive play by us losing the ball/ giving it away in dangerous positions. On the other hand we have not had any decent chances, the ones we have mustered being half at best although we have had about half a dozen attempts at goal.
Time-wasting started by Worthing as soon as Worthing scored but the red does not seem interested in pulling them up on it. Despite all the pulls and ankle taps etc. on our attackers it took over half an hour to be awarded a foul in their half.
Could still come from behind and win this but we’re up against it as Robbo is also carrying a head injury that should probably be stitched but has come back on bandaged and with a clean shirt.
