No Luck City Lose Out.

Peter Gilbert 31.1.001

Disappointing - only 1 point now from the last five games. We could have salvaged at least a point here this evening but in the 78th minute Callum Davidson was penalised for winning the ball. The resulting free kick was swung in left footed , it bounced and bobbled it's way through the penalty area and it ended up with Dan Pterescu who stuck his neck out to allow the ball to hit him on the head from which it dribbled into the net. Soft as grease really and just as we appeared to be making a significant impression on the Saints' goal with great efforts from Izzett and Mancini hitting bodies on their way to goal. Even the introduction of 'Super Sub' couldn't swing it for us, in fact neither Arny nor Stururridge, introduced late in the game made much of an impression. We should have known luck would be against us when Taggart did not make the starting line up. Let us hope that points and good luck will return to our game when we play Chelsea at home in the next game.
