Nothing from it.  Pilling is  annoying the Ilkeston fans with his time wasting. We’re well into added time.

Full time and another defeat.  Disappointing second half.

My opinion
A much better performance in the first half. Defensively we looked much stronger with Omoregbee and Pharrell Johnson complementing each other. The two full backs were reasonably sound and new lad Cohen Lee did well in midfield. We created a few opportunities but weren’t prepared to have shot at goal.  With a choice of pass or shoot we always chose to pass. Rylands created far better scoring chances but we got to half time 0-0.
Second half Rylands started strongly . Once they scored our confidence started to drain away. When Lee went off injured, that was the end of our chances of rescuing a point. Hunter did his best but we never looked like scoring simply because we never gave Plling anything to save. So it was an improved performance but not of a good enough standard to stay in this league. We got what we deserved - another defeat.

My opinion 

LV - offers nothing, flits in and out of games, more out than in. 
Daniels - just along for the ride .

New centre half had a good game along side Johnson.

Yaya likes pushing forward but often gets caught in possession.

First half was the best I’ve seen this season, they played like they knew each other, second half reverted to booting long balls up front which came straight back and kept the pressure on us. 

We were very wasteful with corners and free kicks.

Ash - is he carrying an injury, seemed to be concerned with the back of his right leg.

  Based on last night let’s see if this first half improvement can be carried into  the next game, .

 Maybe the gun has been loaded, but the finger is not yet on the trigger.

You’re right about the free kicks and corners. The times that Hunter’s corners sailed over everyone was ridiculous.  It kept happening so why wasn’t someone prepared for that outcome? You could see that Ash was getting frustrated.
