I felt we had the better of the first half, with Aluko showing some nice touches (he is, however, the luckiest dribbler of the ball I've ever seen!). Lee Miller should have scored when the ball fell to him on the 18 yard line.
They were wise to our counter-attacking ways in the second period though, and set their defence flat and deep. We had no-one who could penetrate this. They are a good side and they will qualify from the group.
Foster had a total shocker, but he never hid from the ball - he always wanted it and got forward. Just a pity he gave the ball away each time. And I've never been a Chris Clark fan. Yes, he works hard, but he doesn't have the guts to be an effective winger.
Severin was hot and cold. Not a performance to merit his captain status, however. Zander Diamond was immense. He never put a foot wrong all evening.
