Brakes ended with ten men again as they went down 0-1 at home to Biggleswade Town at a very windy Phillips 66 Community Stadium. We played 4-5-1 until switching to 4-4-2 shortly after half time. We are now down to 7th with hopes of the play offs fading.
The Waders had some big players who put themselves about. We were being beaten to every 50-50 ball. Our defence was unravelled as the visitors broke away on 24 minutes and their big No.9 scored with a decisive strike.
Ben Mackey did manage to put in a strong shot on target just after the break. However, Will Green came on earlier than usual in a double substitution. Then James Mace got sent off for a crunching tackle.
I thought that we actually started to look more threatening after the sending off and we nearly got the ball across the line in a goalmouth scramble. However, it was difficult to complain about the result as the 'Green Army' went home happy. Biggleswade are the first team to do the double over us this season.
There were shouts of 'Holleran out' at the end of the game, but as someone said, he is fireproof.
Attendance was 403 plus one dog.
