Not the end of the world !

SLOUGH Town have dropped points in the race for promotion from the Southern Premier Division this season after a 1-1 draw with Kings Langley on Tuesday.

Captain Alan Inns gave the Rebels the lead with a header on 29 minutes at Arbour Park - his second goal in 14 appearances for the club.

Matt Ball equalised from the penalty spot on 73 minutes after Nathan Smart was adjudged to have handled the ball inside the box.

The draw means Slough have dropped one place to sixth position in the league table, two points outside the play-off spots but with at least three matches in hand on the sides above them.

“We said to them at half-time you’re in control of the game so don’t change what you are doing, keep possession of the ball and make them work hard to chase you.

“But, for whatever reason, we didn’t do that as well in the second half and too many errors crept into our game. Giving the ball away and unforced errors at times that then put us under pressure.

“We gave Kings Langley a bit of belief that they could get something out of the game and they started to look a threat to be honest.

“We created less and less as the game went on unfortunately and didn’t seem to have as much energy about us. We were a little bit flat as a performance but you’re going to get that.

“We can’t play well every week and need to learn how to win games when we’re not at our best, and unfortunately we seem to have to play well to win.

The Rebels joint-manager Jon Underwood told the Observer: “I’m disappointed to draw but it’s probably a fair result. Over the course of the game Kings Langley deserve their point.

“I thought in the first half we were the better side without being brilliant or creating lots of chances. I felt we were in control of the game.

“They had one free-kick out of the blue that hit the bar but in open play they had not hurt us.

“We didn’t create loads but we were reasonably happy at half-time. You’re not going to play brilliantly every week.
