John Scott Quotes: "Right up until losing the first goal we were doing really well. We were organized and we working hard to make the game difficult for Houghton. Then in a split second we go down at a defending corner as a free header makes it 1-0. This goal definitely affected us as it led to a lack of concentration for 2-0 before the half. It's tough for the guys because from the training field we're seeing our defensive work take shape. The frustration comes from set piece goals that are all avoidable. We know we still have more to do with being accountable at set pieces, but we'll keep working at it."
