A wet afternoon in Staffordshire unfortunately resulted in letting a 2 goal lead slip to a battling chasetown side who really pushed us in the second half.
Morgan got a first half double, the first flicking home a corner and then dispatching a penalty away after a foul by the keeper if I remember correctly, and with Vince away he didn’t disappoint. Utterly dominant first half and going in at 2-0 it felt like the points were wrapped up.
The second half was a different story, we put together some good attacks but Chasetown were definitely on top. They pulled one back from a penalty (we must be giving one away every other game nearly) and after sustained pressure a free header was sent into the bottom corner past Danny in the 83rd minute . We could’ve found the winner with a wonderful curling shot from the outside of Burgess’ boot but it hit the bar much to our disbelief. One of the two follow ups should’ve gone in but one of them was called offside. Lost a knocked out Cosmos later on in the second half who needed an ambulance to check him out and once tendai was subbed off we looked less dangerous - just shows how important those two are.
Chasetown definitely looked the most likely to win it but each side had chances including a flurry of corners of our own at the death. Decent noisy travelling support too, always good to see. Still unbeaten but still no away wins this season and with a run of away games you would hope that changes. Still not looking at the table or other results, plenty more games to go and we still look strong.
