John Brewin was down by the Solent this evening. His report is here. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night!

Brendan Rodgers takes his turn. “Disappointed with the scoreline but the performance was what we would want, in terms of arriving in the final third of the pitch … the main disappointment was not taking the opportunities we created … on another night we would have scored three or four goals … we started really well … we controlled the game in the second half … we lacked that little final pass or little bit of quality that makes the difference … we’re disappointed with the goal as a whole but the players regrouped … we just couldn’t finish … we can score goals but the last few games we haven’t been able to take our opportunities … we will continually work on it … sometimes you get games like that … if we continue to play like that, we’ll gain the points we need to stay in the division … but it’s so tight … there is still a lot of football to play and we’ll stay calm … it’s my responsibility to get the team going again.”
