It reminded me a bit of the types of game we were losing in the 2nd half of 2017/18. Generally doing well in games, trying to get a win late on, but not being perfect enough at the back and being punished by a moment of quality (in this case the cross rather than a long-range effort). If we’re holding out for a draw we perhaps don’t concede – Osborn wouldn’t have been darting forward, Berge might have passed back to Baldock rather than initially look to take it on before being crowded out, Sharp might have stuck deeper in that situation rather than return forward etc. Altogether frustrating, but it did feel at the time like we might have potentially been able to nick it.
Agreed.
With the way Berge has committed three of their players (first picture) it was a shame that he wasn't able to poke it back to Baldock. A direct pass in field to Norwood and then onto Osborn could have set up a good break.
