I guess if Dan had been offered a point prior, he would have taken it. But at 2-0 with less than half an hour to go, he will wonder how things fell away.
Thought BTFC started well, were worth their lead at HT but Tiverton had started to wake up. Second half, a tad fortunate to go 2up, then began to struggle badly. Fitness? Their header was decent, but Mark Scott will wonder if he should have done better with the second, unless he was unsighted.
For me, our most threatening players were off the pace today. Wilson and Hodges can be a lot better. Dre had a game where he couldn`t put the passes in the right place. The new guys looked OK, and will get better too. Ashley Artwell put in a great shift and was our best player.
Concerns would be midfield, where we lost the battle in the second half. The Dunny injury didn`t help. Paul Hodges probably has to play there for his creativity, although not much shown today. George Reid has to start too (not available today?)
In summary, take the point and move on. Tivvy are a decent benchmark side, looking at how they played and last season`s midtable finish. We should expect to be looking up and not down the table as things settle down.
Proper football ground (my first visit), decent pitch, good bar. And a decent game first up. Next time we get two up, though, would be good to hold on to it!
Yeh good little trip that, Very nice ground, Gutting to lose 2 goals but take a point away from an established team, Lots to work on, think we definitely ran out of steam last half hour, Agree about Ashleigh Artwell, Made the 2nd goal with some skill, but we just dropped away...Heads up, We go again in a week 👊
