Think Bogey team is about right.

Apart from hitting the post never really threatened but not through lack of trying.

Needham had 2 good chances and scored them both and sat back on it in the 2nd half making things very difficult.

There keeper did not have to make a save all match and there's just something about that ground that never falls right for us.

Onto Saturday and hopefully resume our winning ways.

For me, the main strength of Needham which gave them the upper hand was the work rate of their midfield. Every time one of our midfielders or forwards got a touch they were surrounded by 2-4 Needham players, either taking the ball off our player or rushing them into a poor pass, which stopped our good passing game that worked so well in the second half at Long Eaton.

I’m sure not every team we face this season will operate like that so hopefully we won’t be outplayed too often.
