Whilst I thought Gyasi and Fairlamb generally did OK, however, many times when they had the ball they had to take on their defender and were driven to tight spots on the by line. I thought they needed far more support from the midfielders with a ‘give and go’ situation. I think if this had happened they would have been able to deliver better crosses into the box away from their keeper.

I'd agree with that Paul. Our midfield seemed a little subdued and deep. Maybe the pitches have taken their toll recently.

Frustrating draw on a cold day, especially during the second half,I just wanted to go home!!!

Marlow came with a plan. To sit back, put five in defence and hoof it up the pitch. Fair play to them, it worked!

For once I can't really complain about the officials! Don't think their keeper would agree though! Was a nice bit of banter going on between our fans and the linesman on the Chris Ruff stand side...I'm sure we've had him before? Maybe at the dog & duck?
