There have been a couple of games this season in which we’ve come away with a result which we haven’t deserved, and away at Weston Super-Mare was one of them. We weren’t very good. It was a below-par performance. But we got out of jail with a superb equaliser from Simon Wormull, and came away with a point in a 1-1 draw.

They were at us from the start, helped by the fact that I had to play a number of players out of position. Injuries meant that we had no full-backs, so I had to stretch four centre-backs across the back four. A combination of bad finishing on their part and good keeping by Steve Williams meant that we went into the interval at 0-0. That said, Simon Wormull did hit the bar with a 30-yard free-kick with the keeper beaten all ends up.

They took the lead on 55 minutes in dubious circumstances. They’ve got this 6’4” striker and he was pinning our goalkeeper from a corner – standing right in front of him so he couldn’t get a good jump at the cross. When the ball came in he leant right into him, and Steve dropped the ball over the line. The ref gave a goal, but I think the keepers should be protected in those circumstances. They usually are. It should have been disallowed. On 74 minutes we got a free kick 30 yards out. Simon Wormull took it, and completely fooled the keeper, hitting the top left-hand stanchion. A lovely goal. It’s only his second in a Lewes shirt, he should be getting more, a player of his talent. I’ve told my midfielders, him included, that they should all be in double figures every season. We both had chances to win the game after that - they missed the best one in the fifth minute of injury time when somehow their geezer ballooned the ball over the bar from two yards out.
