I don't feel like dancing!

A very frustrating game in the torrential downpour at The Lane. We managed to score four goals but this was not enough to stop the two man team of Tring. Two quality players tore us a new one - a slippery midfielder and a defender spraying balls better than a ping pong party in Pattaya - Google it.

Moving on. Another story of lots of PCs with only two of these leading to goals. On the whole, the team played well but individual mistakes across the field cost us the game. Poor decisions in key areas and multiple near misses eventually caught up with us as Tring converted before sitting back - all 11 men in their 23 for the remaining 10 minutes.

With this result, and a draw in our last game, we have dropped down the pack at the top of the table. We are doing the right things 90% of the time but when we do get it wrong we pay for it! AHC Toes head off to Oxford next week hoping to end this unfortunate spell and get back to winning ways.
