WCFC Manager Darron Hobbs view was that Solihull did really well to battle back, win the game and for this reason congratulated the Moors boys who were a credit to the manager. However the WCFC boys really should of took control after gaining a 2 goal advantage and hopefully we can learn from our mistakes and have a strong end to the season!
