I thought we stopped playing after they pulled one back. Very encouraging opening spell. We carried the ball forward with penetration and could/should have sealed the win. But the defence was, with the exception of Ryan, poor.
At least two of their goals were down to basic defending. Failing to close down incoming shots and crosses.
I'm frankly baffled. They combined well around Ollie who had his work cut out and their cross-field passing is always a threat. Typical Canvey stuff.
Second half, I don't think we posed as much as a threat as we should have. Performance indicative of Murphs. The lad was outstanding then second half pushed out wide he looked far less a threat.
The biggest annoyance is we frankly lost the plot, having been in such a strong position.
The lad from Enfield was knocking about so he may soon be on board. The lads to be fair put a solid shift, but there's no denying we're not firing on all cylinders.
But it was an improvement, with patience we will get it right.
Keep the faith chaps - we're on the right track.
