Then with only seconds left Coley took off King and brought on McConville, why I do not know. Usually when there are only seconds left the team in front make a substitution just to waste time.
Grant had had an injury. It was Kee's debut and he had worked very hard. Coley thought fresh legs might bring a win. Defensively Symes' height was potentially a big plus though I think Gary King might have been who I would have gone for getting the elusive goal.

Billy Kee has a great first touch - the mark of any good striker.
