Scott Wagstaff suffered “a baptism of fire” as caretaker-manager of Tonbridge Angels as visitors Farnborough recorded a comfortable win.
“It was a tough one today, but I still enjoyed it and I will learn from it. Performance wise, when one of your mates comes in, it goes one of two ways and it went the other way today. It was a baptism of fire, so I’m really relishing the rest of these four games and hopefully we can put on a better performance next week at Weston,” said Scott in his post-match interview.
Warm, spring sunshine greeted Waggy’s first team selection that brought just the one change from last Saturday’s defeat at Salisbury with Bailey Akehurst coming in for Nazir Bakrin, who dropped to the bench.
Farnborough took control of the game after opening the scoring on 12 minutes when a right-sided corner from Alfie Tuck was deftly steered into the bottom corner from the head of Ricky Holmes.
The Hampshire side doubled their advantage on 22 minutes when Joe Haigh finished well after a break down the left from Reggie Young who had been sent clear with an exquisite pass inside of the defender by Holmes. In between the first and second goals, on 19 minutes, Haig had seen his penalty effort, awarded after a foul on the edge of the box by Mikey Berry, saved by Matt Rowley in the Angels’ goal.
After dominating the first half, Farnborough were offered a second chance from the penalty spot after 52 minutes after Jonny Stuttle was adjudged to have been brought down by Jamie Fielding. But, once again, Rowley was equal to the taker, this time Stuttle, saving brilliantly, low to his left.
Taylor Maloney brought a comfortable save out of goalkeeper Jack Turner and Sean Shields fired wide before the game was effectively put out of reach of the home side after 59 minutes when Ollie Robinson was unmarked after a free kick from Haigh was moved on by Holmes to add a third goal.
A fourth came on 71 minutes when Stuttle was sent clear by Jack Bateson to finish past the advancing Rowley.
Tonbridge produced a spirited end to the game that eventually brought a consolation goal from Harry Ottaway who hooked the ball home after a pass from Sean Shields.
Scott concluded: “After the game there is a lot of emotion, I feel I know how the gaffer felt after games, but I don’t want the boys to let these three weeks pass us by. I want us to enjoy these three weeks and the only way we are going to enjoy it is by winning games, so I’m getting back to the drawing board to figure out the best way to beat Weston next week. To the fans, stick with us, I know we didn’t give you much to cheer about today, but I promise you, we will give you absolutely everything in these last four games. We will make sure everyone out there is playing for the club, for the shirt, until the end of the season, I promise you that.”
