Halftime thoughts:
Good game of football, both sides playing some good stuff and mostly cancelling each other out. Neither side at fault for the goals they scored.
Ashby was quiet until his assist, hopefully that will do his confidence some good because he has not lived up to the hype before today.
Key on the other hand has been superb, endless stamina and always willing to attack the defenders.
Patino seems to have been deployed as a third central midfielder rather than in an attacking role, right now we have three such midfielders doing that and the forwards are isolated and feeding off scraps. We need a number 10 in there to link midfield and attack, give Grimes and Patino someone to hit who can turn and feed Piroe, Yates, Key and Ashby - we need Ginnelly on the pitch and to either pull off a centre half or Fulton.
