Hope it's not a sign of things to come. Mental strength is going to be so important in the run in. |  |

Yeah that's the most frustrating thing. It wasn't exactly in a danger area either. Completely pointless and could be very costly. |  |

I am not sure I would blame Woolfy. He could have cleared it in the first instance but left the ball for Walton because of a call. Thereafter, it was a bit of panic stations with Walton absent from the goal, and the ball fell kindly for them. With that wind, and the way the opposition play, something like that was always a possibility. [Post edited 10 Apr 2023 17:02]

You could say overconfidence based on that |  |

No Broadhead and it's a result similar to our run up to and around Christmas - create, fail to score a second and get punished by an error. |  |

The wind didn't come out of nowhere though, it had been doing that all game. You're allowed to say it's a goalkeeping error. |  |

Probably didn’t have time to read the weather report threads being posted on here pre-match. If he had, we might be top. |  | |  |

Indeed, as someone said once before, we need to be careful we don't beat ourselves. We need to forget all about the run we were on and take each game as it comes and on it's own merits. McKenna has rightly been trying to keep them grounded in recent weeks to forget about the run to prevent overconfidence, and today you see why. [Post edited 10 Apr 2023 17:04]

It did. But he's won us a lot more points during the past few weeks. |  |

Unfortunately when a keeper makes an error it often leads to a goal. Plenty of other errors made today further up the field, but it was never a keeper's ball. Did it make the penalty area? |  | |  |

It's not typical of us though is it? You just haven't had the opportunity to moan for a couple of months. |  | |  |

Has he? Think out backline and forward play have provided more for our fantastic run than Walton. Not necessarily his fault, just we haven't been conceding many shots on target, from memory. |  |

I'm not going to be too critical of either. Walton is happy to come for balls and take pressure off his defenders. We can't praise him for it when it works and then get on his back on the rare occasions he cocks up. As for Woolfy he was having a great game, dealing with everything thrown at him in difficult conditions. Just think a little more composure in that moment and he reacts better to that. Still, it's a point. We go again. |  |

They are taking each game as it comes, Aluko said exactly that during the comm, and added that it's that mindset which brought about the winning streak. |  |
