I do think a large part of the second half and them coming at us (along with them needing a goal) was tiredness.

A lot of those players have played a lot of minutes recently out if necessity, and a number were making their first appearance after a while out of playing and training through injury. Pidge really looked to be struggling on about 70 minutes for instance, as had NT been for a while. But we didn't have any options on the bench to change it up for many of them so had to stick with it.

I was disappointed we didn't hang on but was perfectly happy with the performance and desire on show. Pidge, NT and Phillips being back made all the difference. And we now have a fortnight until out next league match for them to get fully back to fitness, then we have three very winnable games against Orient, Northampton and Crawley. If they go well, we will be nicely settled in midtable again and looking forwards, with even more players nearing a return from injury.
