Goals from Last Night

Can't believe having actually seen their first for the first time (I was looking away in the ground when it happened) that Hooiveld didn't just put SOMETHING on it, even if it only hit him and rolled off the pitch. In context we were caught arguing about a decision - it may have been the handball that I've blanked out of my mind, but I saw Cork argue with the ref, then turned away to say something about a kid in the Cardiff end telling us to sit down (i.e. stop appealing for the pen) when we'd all been stood all match long, turned around and it was already going over Kelvin's head. Cork also got booked immediately after the goal went in.

 

Interesting comments at the end, agree with Adkins about us making loads of late chances, but if Mackay thinks that's a good atmosphere their fans must have slept through the other matches.

Looking at that video I'm not sure Hooiveld was ever in a position to get something on the ball, it was dropping over his shoulder and he was always struggling to get to the ball first. He would have been in a position to hold Millar up and force him wide though had Kelvin not decided to come charging out of his goal when there were two covering defenders!

Davis showed a complete lack of judgement, the header was under pressure and if he had stayed back it was easily saved.

Totally agree. A bit disingenuous Solent calling that as a "dreadful error by Hooiveld" (or words to that effect)

This. I was in the main stand, pretty much in line with the penalty area, and the dithering from Davis was awful. He took forever and a day to decide whether to come for the ball or not, and then when he finally did it was immediately clear it was the wrong decision. Stay back and Miller still had plenty to do; Davis made his mind up for him and gifted him an easy goal.

 

But it would be silly to solely blame Davis; that we got caught out by a massive hoof from the goalkeeper was reminsicent of Sunday morning football.
