John Scott Quotes: "It's a shame that we're making mistakes in the penalty box that continue to get in the way of us building towards a closer result. Â Between the boxes we were fine tonight as we have been in some other games this season. Â Our defensive organization was good, and in attack there were passages of play where we looked good on the eye. Â Games are won and lost in the penalty boxes and we still need to be doing more with routine situations to make things easier on ourselves. Â We've now got a home game to prepare for on Friday night against Bryant & Stratton."
