take that after the poor start, chance to nick that if we tested their keeper more.

Couldn't make the game today as I had other arrangements but I saw a Vauxhall Insignia with a registration of RO18 KLY travelling down Park Road about 3.15pm, under a police escort. Make of that what you will.

Didn't play well. Didn't get beat. That's progress from start of season. Take the positive and move on to next week.

Well all 4 goals were preventable we battled well second half but why we have this tendency to keep passing backwards is baffling, I know you keep possession but we look much better when we go at team's anyway credit to Whing for changing it ,surely we'll sign a right fullback in January!

Hard earned point. 2nd half , a lot better with 2 up front and Whitfield as 10 where he was most comfortable.

Why do we only ever play for 45 mins? First half was dire .

Another point further away from the drop and another unbeaten. Plenty of negatives yes but I walked away content. On to the next

Full credit for getting back into a game that was looking out of reach at two down, but grabbing that lifeline just before HT was massive.
