I feel someone is not smiling on us at the moment, not just with the raft of injuries we have but the fact that every mistake we make seems to be punished with a goal.

I thought Didcot and ourselves looked like two teams playing with little confidence so the first goal should have been crucial.

We scored it only to concede within 60 seconds. And like the other two goals we let in, it was down to an individual error.

Didcot had a bit of possession but did not hurt us and when you score two goals away from home you should get something out of the game.

At the start of the second half they hardly got in our half for 15 minutes and when we equalised for 2-2 I thought there was only going to be one winner.

But straight from the kick off they got a corner and then a series of corners followed. It was just an unacceptable goal to concede from right under our own bar.

We are trying a new system (4-2-3-1) which allows us to get bodies forward and it seemed to work. The players seemed comfortable with it but it is now a question of whether we have enough players.

We already had six out (Reid, Walsh, Davies, Griffin, Thompson and Palmer) and now Scott Mason and Josh Emery have both been added to the injury list.

Tommo pulled up again at training on Thursday night so I can’t see him returning for Brackley on Saturday and though Nathan Davies came through training, we will have to see whether there is a reaction, while Carl Brown will also need a fitness test on Saturday morning.

It would be a great lift if we could get three points against Brackley on Saturday because we then have a breather of 11 days before the Glos Senior Cup tie at Forest Green Rovers on Wednesday week.

In that time, we hope to get some of the injured ones back and perhaps see who we can bring in.

The injuries are not all of a pattern but we have played nine league and cup games in four weeks which is a nonsense and, in hindsight, maybe our busy pre-season has contributed to our problems as well.
