Yes, I think overall we were the better team, but you can't give away a two goal lead in the first 15 mins and expect to get a result. Had the team not discussed the danger of Pope during the week? How was he allowed a free header in the 3rd minute for example, when there was plenty of time to get defenders around him? Why didn't someone try to tackle the winger before he planted the ball onto Pope's head? The second goal was just a shambles; the ball could have been cleared at least twice. When we had similar situations in their half, nothing seemed to run for us. Having said that, that was the best home performance for some time and if we play like that against lesse teams, we will generally win. Our home form is now terrible - we haven't won since November and now we are not even drawing games. Still, our away results are amazing and long may they continue to be so. Its just a little depressing when we keep seeing them lose at Priestfield.
