We had one of those dreaded ‘back from a break’ performances in the first half, could not string two passes together, did not win a 50/50, just looked tired and slow. It was pretty obvious the only way Stevenage are going to get a goal is via a set-piece and that’s what happened, it was a unstoppable free kick that managed to get a ripple of applause from the stags fans.
Second half was all Stags with Stevenage defending really well and blocking absolutely everything; plus the ball just refusing to drop kindly for us at all. It’d still be 1-0 now if we were playing.
Very frustrating way to lose our streak, but we can only blame ourselves for that first half in which we made it very easy to play their game, which is a bad watch but that was a good efficient away performance from them.
