Hitchin Town FC - Media Team
Well, a penalty it maybe but who was going to take it after those two misses at Banbury. It was Eadie and he blasted home with some emphasis and celebrated in front of the Hitchin supporters behind the goal as if he knew this had saved the game. I say this because it seemed to me that Hitchin played out the last few minutes as if they were defending a hard-earned point. That equaliser came with just two minutes of normal time to spare.
Yes, there were late chances for both sides but they went begging and the points were shared and I wearily remind those who do not need reminding that the Canaries are still seeking their first league win of the season. But a point salvaged is, in a sense, a point gained. Further points are held in abeyance as the team travel the short distance on Saturday to Barton Rovers for the FA cup encounter.
Relief may have mingled with some disappointment but we take what we can when we can, and there is every reason to believe that improvements will continue and the attitude of the team is pleasingly positive.
