At times Darlo briefly threatened with some quick forward interchanges and I half thought they were going to do a Grimsby on us. John Miles did make a big difference in the second half as at last we had a forward who could retain possession and make things happpen, and we should have had a couple of goals from 2 chances each for him and Bobby Grant, but again, the composure wasn't there. Thanks to Bavs for saving the day late on when their man was through on goal, looking odds on to score. No Turner again though - why do we not want to play our only man who can deliver a good, pacy cross? Incomprehensible.

More to the point why not even on the Bench?

One of the few players we have who can produce genuine width and create havoc for defences with his pace/crosses but he dosn't get on the Bench but yet Murphy & McConville do
