Not a great start 0-1 sitting too deep

Any danger of ever beating this lot?

The ref let too much go early and it's a bit rough and tumble. They down to 10 but still looking more likely to score. But for a finger tip from Puddy they should be 0-2 up.
Need a response in 2nd half and Evans and McCootie to be careful as both on yellows

Agree with what has already been said, Puddy man of match a couple of outstanding saves.

Was a bit puzzled by the sub at half time but what do I know. Clearly tactical and the right choice although I still think Compton tries to be too clever and comes unstuck. When he plays simple quick and direct football he is much better. I did worry we had settled for a 2-1 win and were going to get punished for complacency as to be fair to Hungerford they did give it a really good go right until the 3rd went in.
Rhys Davies was excellent when he came on too, again I thought odd at the time to take off Guthrie but he stiffened up the defence.
I'd have liked to see Smiles and Evans swap, as we seem more creative when he is playing a more forward midfield role whereas I think Evans is a more defensive battling player.
Anyway good game to watch in the second half at least and deserved the win. I see Hungerford feel the red was harsh, but he tripped Smiles from behind, no attempt to get the ball and without any care as to how he might land = reckless and dangerous = red card.

Finally, we beat them! Hungerford certainly played a rough game, I was pleased to see that we played with controlled aggression and ended with 11. Ultimately we beat them by playing good football throughout the second half, but not to underestimate the contribution Will Puddy made in goal. Interesting idea to play Josh Smile so deep and Nick McCootie seems to have found a new lease of life recently popping up all over the place. Credit to the whole team and management.

Very good second half, often difficult against ten but that wasn't the case as we roared down the slope. 3 great goals. Good substitutions
