A half of three thirds.

We were on top first without creating anything clear-cut, a scruffy middle one where weak defending offered them their one opportunity, then dominated the third where their goalie saved them four times.

Ref' let a lot go for them - including dive of the season so far.

Clearly looking down the channels for Drummond's pace given his lack of physicality.

Another forty five like that and we must get summat here...shouldn't we?

[JonB]

Suspect had the foul on Drummond been later in the game and in front of our fans he?d have given it.

Seriously, 4 seconds where young Harvey forgot how to play football is the difference, here. A point at least, today. These aren't fit to lace Wimbledons boots.

[Lincs Spireite]

I'm a bit concerned at the number of strikers we have. Looking at other team's , even Oldham have a good few more.

[DMU Blue]

We?ll beat these if the second half goes like the first.

70% possession. 6 shots on target. Sadly we have very little to help us change the game on the bench

Thought all 3 didn?t cover themselves in glory for the goal tbf, Harvey Baylor and grimes.

We?ve been the better team by far, injuries to our centre forwards really hindering us as it obviously will

Just before that grimes seems to step up for no apparent reason too. If he just stays put he heads it away

He?s absolutely pants. He?s too weak for a striker and not tricky or creative enough for a wide man

He?s defo not a lone forward, probably a better winger

I certainly don't hold it against H. These things happen and a slightly more convincing clearance would have done it. Generally speaking, though, we are in complete control. Mr Grigg up top and we don't go in behind. I quite like Drummond, though. I'm a sucker for a player who tries like his life depends on it despite some limitations. I'd have built a statue for Quiggs.

[Doreets]

Not sure that was even a foul on their keeper then, way too protected

[Siberian Spireite]

Why does all physical contact hurt SO much on a football field, especially if a team is trying to hold a lead?

[TJ Blue]

Considering the amount of first team players we?ve got out, you?ve got to give the lads credit

Agreed - till then
Just when you post that, we are getting a bit sloppy.

And, they are going to need every ounce of support we can give them leading up to the return of some players and, hopefully, the signing of others.

Not a time for whining winnies.

Grimes goal ruled out. Replay made it look on to me
