Really disappointing not to get the 3 points as I thought we were definitely the better side in both halves. No idea how they managed to find 5 extra minutes but we should’ve managed it better. Twice we had free kicks in their half and both times we went for the long ball, only to go out for goal kicks and hand them back possession. Not the best idea when everyone has tired legs. We also had a lot of chances in the second half that we should’ve done better with but they’ll learn from it. Overall it was a good performance against a solid side who we’ll have to get the better of in the reverse fixture.
The positives - Penney was deservedly given man of the match after another great performance. He’s looking better game by game. Harvey also pulled off some great saves for us as well. We looked threatening cutting inside from the wings throughout the game and Gondoh added to that when he came on too. This group of lads can definitely play great football and are capable of putting in a good performance week in, week out.
Time to rest and recover for Monday’s game where we’ll hopefully get a repeat of last season’s game away to Bognor. COYR!

It was a good match and once Hornchurch got their first always felt the equaliser was going to come. The game management in the added time was poor. I’ve never before seen a team just boot the ball towards the corner flags with no intention of keeping possession. Some good performances out their today. Wouldn’t argue with Penney as MOM. Murtagh and Whelpdale look decent and KLK may be our next Razz/Tanner. Tommy Wood has something about him. A goal would do him the world of good.
