An early goal in the second half for the home side forced Royston into their shells.
Although not entirely devoid of quality hockey, Royston's lack of concentration and thought, on and off the ball, made for an ugly second half.

In truth Royston created plenty of chances to score via short corners, which have not been executed well enough in recent weeks.
The weaknesses in Royston's game are small but devastating and must the addressed with some urgency.
