Opening defeat frustrates Pickering
Simon Smedley20/ 8/2008
WOODLEY Sports boss Ally Pickering saw his side throw away a lead on Saturday as they went down 2-1 at Wakefield in their opening day UniBond League clash.
Danny Queeley put the Steelmen in front with a crisp finish on 52 minutes, but a controversial penalty 15 minutes later got the Yorkshiremen back on terms. The hosts then bagged a winner with just eight minutes to go.
Pickering said: "I’m gutted. The match was there for us to win, that’s the most frustrating thing. A scruffy 1-0 win would have done for us, but the referee then gave Wakefield a poor penalty which got them back into the game. We kept the ball well enough and I was impressed with our back four, but overall we just didn’t get going enough. At least we’ve now got two home games back-to-back to help try and get Saturday out of our system."
