Southport 1 AFC Telford 1

A busy game but not one for the football perfectionists on the Popular side. Southport had the majority of the possession and most of the game was played in Telfords half but Southport only managed a single goal from Neil Prince on 29 minutes. Southport rarely looked in control and just as someone said "its in the bag" Telford scored, seconds later the final whistle went.
Telford brought a good noisey following who brought some much needed atmosphere to Haig Ave and acted like they had won the FA Cup when they equalised.
Southport were okay but it was their mistakes that cost them the points not the referee as some will say. The moaners picked out keeper Whiteside and goalscorer Prince for abuse.
We still need a striker, there was no sign of the latest one to be brought in. Rodney Jack will get a heros welcome should he ever return. Blakemen was up to his best but only for a few moments in the 90mins. I was glad to see Beeley coming on and hope he can get a start in future games.
Southport do not look as good as they did pre-season and need to adjust to the league. I hope the manager can sort his players out and get some confidence and structure back.
