It wasn’t far off a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Under the lights with a cracking atmosphere, a United team there for the taking, attacking line-up and we started well, but we just couldn’t take our bloody chances.
Ollie and Jacob must’ve had a handful between them, with Bailey and Moreno having good half chances too.
On another day, we could’ve won that game 5-2 with the chances we had. I’m not too disheartened as that can happen, wherever United might be in their life cycle (pretty shit in relative terms), it does seem have an effect when you’re the opposition with the pressure that puts on.
Shout out to the ref too. Diabolical. It’s a lame excuse to call the ref out, but at the top of the professional game, those marginal decisions make a difference. Absolutely bottled it whenever it came to disciplining the United players, yet we weren’t being given blatant free kicks and picking up yellows for just being present. Absolute joke of a ref, should be relegated to league 2.
