What a game again but such a harsh result for Town.
The pitch was premiership standard, new paint everywhere round the stands, hoardings with etihad and man city logos prominently displayed. I really thought we might get turned over given omens But we were sharp right from the kick off, looked dangerous, closed them down, quietened the crowd and really were looking good value to go in at half time 2-1 up. They had two efforts on target and scored both.
I was fearful of the second half as they had made it 2-2 right before the interval so went in with some momentum, but again we came out a passed it, had plenty of good spells. However, at the start of the 5 minutes of added time the ref gave a penalty. Couldn't see whether it was inside or outside the box, but their guy went down very easily but I suppose that is the influence of professionalism for you. Would have taken it had it been the other way.
No doubt when I see a match report on a Hyde site, they will say they dominated and thoroughly deserved their win. However, don't believe a word of it, we gave them a real fright today. To go to both Stalybridge and Hyde but come home with nothing and see two injury time sickeners if tough to take.
