Unlike Saturday when Poole played well and lost, the Poole Town players failed to impress in this game and didnt play anywhere near the standards that they are capable of.
Some very scrappy defending for both the Alresford goals, although they werent helped but yet more terrible decisions by the awful match officials, but they also failed to keep hold of the ball when going forward and created very little.
Poole fans were given a glimmer of hope when Gary Funnell equalised midway through the 1st half with a cross/shot? into the top corner, and very nearly snatched a point when Carl Chivers shot across the face of the goal late on, however this was a poor performance against a poor Alresford team.
Unfortunately, Poole just cannot afford to drop any more points against this type of opposition if they want to achieve promotion. There is no doubt that Tommy has put together a good set of players, and it must be as frustrating for him as for all of the supporters, however some of the players are just not performing as we know that they can.
