Poole Town 2 Biggleswade Town 2

Southern Premier League

16 February 2016

Luckily only 266 people turned out to see this dire display by Poole. 2 - 0 up and coasting at half time they continued to coast in the second half and let a mediocre Biggleswade side come back when they had no right to. Competitors are creeping slowly towards the top but maybe we are toying with them. Who knows?

Bright spots were the well taken goals by Roberts and Brooks but the rest was a real low point of the season. After Biggleswade had equalised they were going for the winner and Poole never looked likely to score. Connell was introduced too late to make any difference but had some good touches and Gleeson looks like he can be a creator, passing the ball well.

Poole continue to play as they have for most of the season without a striker to call their own. One starts to wonder whether there is some sort of perverse bet going on. But lo .. the appearance Ahsan Holgate on a 'short term arrangement' and Tony Lee on a month's loan may eek out enough points. Poverty has been pleaded but unless something changes, how are we going to compete with professional teams in the league above?
