Excellent,really encouraging performance last night!We should've been out of sight going into injury time,as we've created 4 or 5 great chances and hit the bar.But when you don't take them, you're always susceptible to an undeserved sucker punch at the end.
Thought Cousins and Jones both starting made a positive difference.Cousins controls the midfield well,which gives us a good base to build from to start the attacks and get us going on the front foot.Jones is a natural,pacy winger,with a decent cross on him.The team looked much better balanced with those 2 in it.
I thought the ref did ok in the 1st half,but I'm a bit frustrated he didn't give us a free kick for a foul by the big lad Akinfenwa,who imo,fouled our lad just before he gave Wycombe the corner that they scored from.On the whole we defended well again tonight,I was really impressed with Whatmough,but we have to do better for their goal.
Wyke put in a decent shift up top and Naylor did a lot of good defensive work in front of the back 4.The 2 full backs also played well,especially considering it's neithers natural position.Cracking strike from Lang for our goal(Jamie Jones would've been proud of that bullet strike
)and he looked dangerous when he ran at their defence.
All in all,a shame we didn't get what would've no doubt been a deserved win,but plenty of positives to build on going into Charlton on Saturday!
