my detailed report now on

[Tippy Tappy Football]

"A brilliant goal from Anderson. I think it was more a question of brilliant play than poor defending."

The goal came from Hiram Boateng missing a header from a goal kick in the centre. Boateng and Bowery then head the ball to each other and lose it. I don't know why Jordan Bowery was challenging for the ball in the centre because this leaves Fevrier totally unmarked. He crosses the ball and it flicks off Hopper to Harry Anderson who beats Cargill and then squeezes a shot past Lewis Brunt and Christy Pym into the far corner. Lewis Brunt should have blocked it as he was very close to the ball.

I think that's harsh on Brunt. He gets close to Anderson but the shot goes past him. It's great play from Anderson.

You can always look for something that could be done better when you concede a goal. But I don't think there is anything really bad for that goal. I certainly wouldn't class it as a bad goal to concede, unlike for example Bradford's goal last week, Swindon's second goal.

Lewis Brunt is so close to the ball that he has to get a foot in and block it. You would be very disappointed as a defender that it got past you.

There have been a few goal recently where, at first view, I don't think that Brunt has reacted quickly enough with the ball coming to him. I felt at the time it is his fear of sticking in his own goal or taking charge. Bluntly, he is a young kid and this is one of his few areas to really develop as he moves forward in his career
