As mentioned above Ashmore gives Tshimanga all the opportunity he needs to get the penalty as the ball is running away from goal, you see them given week in week out around the country. A certain Mr Lester was also very good at doing it.
My only concern as the game went on was that the ref would even it up giving them something as often happens.
In this game, we very rarely allowed the opposition to carry the ball into our area, so we appear to be learning to snuff attacks out further away from our goal. Another welcome improvement was that, when we let them back in at 2-1, on this occasion we didn't keep dropping deeper, and continued to press forward to keep them on the back foot. I think it shows this team can learn from mistakes and keep improving, which is very encouraging for the rest of the season.
