We should have been 2-0 up at half-time. Angus did really well to create that opportunity but then totally fluffed his finish.
We could even have added a second goal early in the second half with that Mooney chance.
Gould then proceeded to endure a nightmarish few minutes. What on earth was he doing not coming out to collect that ball which was headed back to him?
And then you could see him conceding that penalty from a mile off.
Fortunately, their goalkeeper was as abject as ours and was at fault for both Alty's goals.
We simply imploded in the face of their pressure and our away form is looking alarmingly brittle. I don't think that I've ever seen Marriott give such a substandard performance.
Parkinson's post-match interview should be enlightening.
