While the first half was fairly dull, I thought the second half was entertaining with plenty of end to end play. The quality from either team wasn't great though. Attempts at goal were quite high at 31 between the two teams, but only 6 on target shows the problem we both have, real quality strikers!!! We hit the woodwork three times (if you count May's effort as two as it came off the bar onto the post) and had a couple of other good chances, and Westwood pulled off a couple of good saves at the other end. Scannel got in two really good crosses in the first half that thankfully for us no-one got on the end of but after that he was kept quiet by the full backs. I think 9 times out of 10 we would have been given the penalty when Maguire was definitely caught by your defender, but he made too much of the "dive" and gave the ref an easy out, he has to stop doing that!!!
On the whole it was probably a fair result, but one that doesn't help the cause of either team. The teams at the bottom are closing fast on us and above us a gap has formed to the top half. We both need a couple of scrappy wins and pull away from the bottom, but with the lack of goals its difficult to see where they will come from!!
