Sadly there is little to cheer about at the moment. There are some great individual cameos but little in the way of cohesion or ability to remain focussed over the whole game (hence the horrendous repeated breakdown of discipline).

Horley were once again organised and did not give the ball away easily, so didn't need to do anything special against us. Their first goal was a bit fortunate, but, on balance, they probably deserved it for their first half performance.

I still can't understand Callums behaviour for the sending off, I'd seen him as level headed and determined, not as an impetuous idiot. Perhaps he just wants to put his feet up over Christmas!

A fighting equaliser in injury time followed by a low long range free kick that evaded everyone (perhaps it wouldn't have done if we'd had that missing defender) says everything about how our luck is running.

I would just like to see us stop giving the ball away so easily so that we can build the platforms to unleash our three strikers. You can't generate pressure without the ball.

Perhaps it's just a confidence thing, we've got good players and they all seem keen enough. Let's hope a win next week will turn it around.

According to my 2 neutral pals we had slightly the better of the play.  And thinking back, I don't think Horley had a shot.  But then we didn't test their keeper either.

Another aspect I noticed was that we only had 3 players who played in the return fixture at Horley.  I think Horley had 7.  And of course, Horley have been together for a number of years.

So unfortunately, we are still an unsettled side, and despite maybe having more talented players, didn't really have any cutting edge on Saturday.
