[Revived Red]

I thought we were ok in the first half; the problems seemed to arise in the second half.

Some specific comments. I know that young Dawber has his admirers but his 45-minute cameo gave me cause for concern. I thought it was a certain penalty when he brought down the Oxford player - a poor decision by the referee. I feel it is essential that Dawber is loaned out to get some match practice at the start of next season.

I agree that the very public exchange of views between Jeffers and Moly was not particularly edifying. I am sure that Jeffers was telling Moly not to be so selfish and he was right to do so.

A word about Michael Liddle. Yes, he found the winger a real handful yesterday - just as many full backs would have done. But he stuck to his task and when the opportunity arose his distribution was ok. To put him in the same category as Peter Murphy seems unfair when Murphy's distribution was as woeful yesterday as it has been all season.

Finally a word or two about Tom Aldred. I think he has been magnificent. I don't know if he has had a yellow card this season; if so, it can't be many. When I think about the number of cards and suspensions picked up by our centre backs in recent years (Hessey, Murdock, Kempson, even the mighty 'Sunbeds', and of course not forgetting Toto), then Aldred's achievement is all the greater and especially so in his partnership with Deano.
