Hopes were high tonight for a big improvement on the last couple of Boro performances, a mid-week crowd of 225 which included much respected Rainworth manager Rudy Funk were present and with a more or less full strength team the prospects did look good for us to progress to the semi final stage of this competition.
However, it turned into another frustrating display, Boro had most of the ball, and they had so many chances on goal that I lost count, but they lacked the final touch.
Goalkeeper Aaran Reid spends so much time on his 18 yard line and beyond that we appear to have 11 outfield players and a goal just begging to be attacked, instead of shouting orders and telling his team mates what to do throughout the game he would be well advised to concentrate more on his own game, especially his distribution which once again was awful, he was out of position to let Dinnington score their winning goal, Ryan Blott should also share some of the blame for the goal as it was his mistake at the other end of the pitch which lead to the Town attack in the first place.
Joel Hartley tried hard all night and Mark Griffin also, it was Griffin's sheer determination that got him his equalising goal, a superb shot across the face of the goal which left the Town 'keeper helpless. But the joy of that goal was shortlived as the Town equaliser came only minutes later.
Rob Ellis had a solid game at right back, he was by far our best defender, and Paddy Miller had a good 2nd half, otherwise there is nothing positive to say about the performance, Hogg and Phillips seemed as if they did not want to be there, they were very lethargic.
