“We didn’t defend well enough” was Steve walker’s succinct summing up after seeing a Jake Reed inspired Lowestoft take the points at Britain’s most easterly town.

“The first 35 minutes were simply not acceptable, but we changed a few things round after they went 2-0 up and we were much improved from then on.

we got back level soon after half time and I couldn’t see us  losing, but with Kynan Isaac and Albi Skendi both struggling with back and knee problems respectively our options were limited, and more sub-standard defending let them in for the winner.

The play offs are still in our own hands but Monday’s game against Biggleswade Iis now a lot more difficult than it should have been.”
