Southport 1 Cambridge 2

Football is a game of two halves, unfortunately. It was scrappy start wih the SFC side including two new loan signings Sean Doherty and Ciaran Donnolly and a couple of players returning from injury and suspension. Southport played well and passed the ball well. Although there were few if any shots on target Southport did score with a header from Tony Gray after a free kick on 30 minutes.
Cambridge's half time team talk must have been good as they came out playing better in the second half. Southport might have held on but for two defensive mistakes which gifted Cambridge an equaliser and then the match.
Southport had plenty of possession and got into the box onnumerous occasions but couldnt get the ball in the net. Typical Southport.
Robinson's kicking was poor today and he didnt command his area. The defence was lacking despite some good moments from Kirkup. Doherty is a very good player and would be an excellent signing.
Southport still miss a physical striker who can force a goal or a gifted striker who can get a goal with little effort. They also need an experience centre back to take control.

No sign of Dino today...
