The end result on Saturday was a lot more acceptable than the performance on the park. The pitch at Camelon is very narrow and time on the ball is always short which means that awareness and sharpness are always going to be important. For large parts of the game our hosts were ahead of us in these departments, making it a very difficult game for us. We started really well again and took the lead with a well worked goal in the first few minutes. From then till half time however our defending as a team was what can only be described as abysmal, and it was no great surprise that Camelon went in to the interval with a one goal advantage. After the break we managed to tighten up a bit and compete on a more even basis, although if truth be told we did not have the quality in our play to create many goal scoring chances. Our equalising goal in the fourth minute of added time was of course a great relief to us all giving us our first league point of the new season. The players can take some credit for battling right to the end but we as a club know that we must do better if we are to compete in the weeks ahead.
