big difference today I thought was Stuart Thurgood (the baldy no 8) he did his job well in breaking up and holding. Whenever the ball needed clearing it was either with his head (and to a player) or a big clever lump down the flanks to give Nurse and Benson something to chase.

I didn't think they were any fitter than us but they were stronger. They seemed better at holding off challenges and managed to get a toe poke to every loose ball.

Miles didnt look particularly fit but the heavy pitch didn't suit him at all. He likes to drag the ball about a lot and it kept sticking under his feet. Symes worked hard but got very little reward whilst Bobby Grant just wasn't strong enough at all. Bavs made one very good (camera) save in the first half and Roberts made one in the second half.

Poor game overall and they will be made up to have got the points after that performance. The goal they scored was ridiculous to concede but the penalty claim by Edwards would have been more ridiculous had the ref given it.

Final point? I need to stop making a habit of going sober to the football - its not half as much fun.
