chance chances difficult fancy goal major nick result storm weather win
We had a chance to win it at the end and 1-0 would have been a major result for us. As it is, it is going to be very difficult for us. If we can nick a goal I would fancy our chances but we will have to weather the storm for 15 to 20 minutes, as they did tonight.

This was perfect example of what happens when you do not take advantage of the chances you create. We had 17 attempts on goal to their three yet ended up losing the game.

We are going to need a double-decker in front of our goal rather than the team coach!
