We were doing ok before the substitution. Whalley was having his best game in ages and he's taken off (no pace up front and no release from the pressure) and replaced with Harris, who lost the ball more times than not. The one thing that Harris was good at was getting stuck in, but over the last month he's been one of our poorest players and tonight he was a liability.

As soon as we went to 1 up front we were under constant pressure and an equaliser was just waiting to happen.

As for it being a poor game, how many real saves did Roberts have to make? How many shots did we have? I was on the Clayton End tonight I thought it was poor overall, but still welcomed the 3 points.
