First half was very stodgy, second half was a massive improvement with McEvily's performance standing out for me. Lutel and Jaggers also stood out, Mullin tireless as always. Defence looked OK, but they didn't carry too much of an attacking threat to be honest - but the back four coped well with what they did occasionally throw at us.

I thought the ref wasn't the worst we've seen at the Crown by a long, long stretch, his linesmen didn't give him much assistance. We should have had a penalty (Mullin was held back) but I dont think he could see it whilst the liner could. A lot of strong, over exuberant tackles went in without him blowing which I quite liked as I get sick of refs blowing for defenders breathing on strikers - quite how Halford got away with what looked like a definite penalty and red card I dont know (first half) but I was an t'other end of the pitch so I could have seen it wrong!
