Difficult to be positive when you let in 5 goals in last 15 mins don’t you think.

Crazy at any level that.

On the one hand were scoring 2+
On the down side we're conceding at least the same

The performance for 75 minutes tonight was pretty much flawless in terms of an away performance at top of the league.

After that was anything but.

The first half was good as any we have played this season and Kenny and Evra were worrying them. Having said that Max made one cracking save and twice they swept down the left wing and sent in brilliant crosses which cried out for someone to put a finishing touch to them. Jim Simms goal was a cracker. We started the second in much the same matter and Kenny's goal was good.. Then Blake came on for Evra. We didn't seem to have the same verve. max got fouled and was down for a bit - did that affect him later? Then we just seemed to go to pieces. Not sure about the foul leading to their 3rd but it was a great free kick and after we made a quadruple substitution they got their 5th after a dreadful shirt pull on one of our players went unpunished but otherwise the ref was ok.
I am not euphoric but I think if we could play like that against everyone else we would be doing well. Also, Bootle have now played 10 won 10 and only conceded 7 goals, 3 of them tonight. I expected us to get beaten but we put up a good show until Evra went off.

At 3-1 74 looked like the league leaders not Bootle-
Fully deserved the lead in what was a superb performance -
Defensively resolute and took their chances very well

Bootle hadn’t conceded a goal in 540-odd minutes of football

The second goal (3-2) was huge as you could see momentum shift and Bootle started to create chances..

Think many would say put that level of performance in over the rest of the season and the results should look after themselves
