I wasn't there today and I don't like commenting when I've not been to the game, but just seen their winner on Channel 5. Where the hell was the defence, how on earth did we allow Akinfenwa to get that header in and even after that the ball should have been cleared after it hit the post before their striker scored!
Stewart is a central defender not a striker.

From that angle it looked like it was over the line before hitting the 2nd post and Stewart's tap in.

Possibly, but there was quite a few seconds between it hitting the post and Stewart following up. I wasn't there so don't know whether the referee was going to give it or the lino was flagging but with no goalline technology at this level we'll never know if the goal would have been given to Akinfenwa or not. It certainly doesn't forgive our players for just standing there watching!
