HarrowGill
Vital Youth Team
Dempsey was just different gravy on Tuesday night but our first half performance was shambolic- we had no width (not something that you would associate with a Steve Evans team) and we couldn't cope with the high intensity, high tempo game being served up by the Anoraks, not helped by Olly Lee's brother, Elliott, on loan from the Luton to the Spotters, who scored and seemed like he was out to prove a point.
Second half was completely different though and Lloyd's substitution was inspired, and he seemed to link up very well with MacDonald and Dempsey. At that point, it was Charlton who looked like they were short of first teamers- not us- as you could see a number of different individuals in their squad tiring, tugging at hamstrings etc and we had a number of chances to nick the game. Given the squad that they have on paper, you have to wonder why their team seemed so unfit and what their training and pre-match preparations are.
All in all, I think both teams will be happy with that point, especially given how many first teamers we currently have unavailable.
