Knights V Lions game of two halves really, Lions could have been 3 or 4 up at half time, a lot of weak midfield defence by the Knights allowed the Lions to walk through them at times. Knights do miss Mearns when he is not available. Lions deserved to be up well and truly. Whatever Sherman said to his players at half time certainly did the trick, they came out full steam ahead and equalised within two minutes, but then their finishing woes kicked in, despite a period of dominance which produced chance after chance the lack of finishing skill from more than one Knights player let the Lions of the hook. I think it’s safe to say that the Lions scored their second goal against the run of play. However it was a well taken corner finished well with a glancing header, but one wonders why the Knights defence managed to give so much space when they should have been aware of the danger. Knights were spurred into action again and equalised almost immediately. Again time and time again Knights penetrated but could not finish. Sherman would have been very disappointed with the result. Perhaps some home truths need to be told.
This Launceston Utd and Riverside teams have to go. 53 goals conceded in 10 games combined is disgusting. These teams make the Clarence team of 5 years ago look good and we all know what happened to them.
And which clubs, if any, replaces them?
Knights could do with George Ivanov right now.
Great finisher.
Not according to some Eagles people
Why did two of Knights best defenders leave for South and Lions?
Dillon should be paid per goal and not per game , might make a difference to the budget
Think he might be going at a goal a game so it wouldn't be any different. Nice try tho.
