Not too disheartened although (once again) Widdop flatters to deceive. I thought Gale had a cracking game and should have had more of the attack.

The highlight for me was when the ref stopped Failer from awarding obstruction. Talk about being put in your place!

Same here. Shocking. Never found the grass once and didn't vary his kicks to rectify it. Too quiet with the ball.
McGilvery was excellent. Ran like a train. In the right place all game.
Love James Graham.
