First half was the usual dross but second half, we were much better.
May was as outstanding as he can be without scoring, Westwood saved us a couple of times, Maghoma cleverly set May clear but his shot hits underside of bar down on to the post, three efforts blocked on the line, Maguire brought down in box but referee books him for diving and Drenthe forces keeper into great save at death.
Palmer kept Bunn quiet and Helan who struggled early on gradually got to grips with Scannell. Lees saved us with one sliding clearance in the first half.
Westwood - 9 - saved us again
Palmer - 7 - best game for a while, kept his side tight
Lees - 8 - outstanding, again
Loovens - 6 - solid generally, yellow card
Helan - 7 - used his pace to good effect
Drenthe - 7 - good threat, went close twice, dangerous corners, wild tackle foor yellow card
McGugan - 6 - quiet debut
Semedo - 6 - couple of errors but better than recently
Maghoma - 6 - set up three good chances, all spurned
GTF - 5 - added little
May - 8 - everything but the goal, unlucky yellow card
................................................................
Nuhui - 6 - three half chances
Maguire - 6 - should have had penalty, unjust yellow card
Lee - 6 - hardly involved
We have a really good squad of players but they look like they have never practiced together.
Once Maghoma went off, we continued our record of never scoring this season when he hasn't been on the pitch.
Another draw keeps SG in his job for another week as we limp towards the relegation zone.
With my referee knowledge, both my bets won.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
