    They hit the bar and should've scored with a chance where the striker sliced it in the first half, we were lucky to go in 0-0 imo but I'd say we just about edged the second half without troubling...

    I did think for a second Burchnall was living on the edge giving one of their players a pat on the back at half time, I was amazed the lad didn't go down.

    You'd also be limiting a player with as much energy as he has by putting him in a role like that, which is the same reason why Palmer is a bit wasted doing that role.

    There was only one team in the game until they brought on number 11, Thomson? He looked a threat, won a few freekicks and we fell apart. We were unlucky to not be 2-0 up and that...
