Yes, I thought it was definitely a foul, but Winnard was fouled first and the ref ignored that!
I thought the Symes-Kee partnership looked promising in the second half, but we've been advocating giving that pairing a go on here since the start of the season. McConville will improve, though I'm not sure that Grant will! Surely Turner is worth a try.
Finally - and here is my likely controversial bit..... I remain unconvinced that Martin is the answer to our goalkeeping problems. He makes some super saves but, like my friend Dunsavin, he does not show positive command of his area and therefore does not inspire his defence with confidence.
Maybe time will tell .. I only hope we don't get dragged into the relegation mire before the season has even got off the ground!

Got to agree with the Martin point, he will be a very good keeper in time I think but he simply hasn't the experience or presence to be 1st choice for a League 2 Club. I hope I'm wrong, and there is no doubting his reflexes and promise, but I said at the beginning of the season that Russell from Rochdale would be abetter bet because of his presence alongside his reasonable ability, really hope that I'm proved wrong but I can't see it, think its probably a year too early for Martin at this level.
