Saturday dinner time 12.30 kick offs are fairly notorious for being poor this was no exception although it did start well, it went down hill fairly quickly the second half being particularly pap.
We started quickly Holmes had already had a shot when a minute later Storey went on a run or stroll through a very static Lions defence, his cross was going to Keane but ended up at the feet of Frokjaer-Jensen who found the bottom right hand corner. Could have been two moments later Holmes shot straight at the keeper.
The first sign of danger for North End came from a break from a home corner, four on two for the Lions, Norton-Cuffey in acres of space, could have passed by shot deflected by a defender, Woodman punched the ball upwards landed against the bar, danger was cleared, although not for long.
Again, nearly doubled the lead but Brady was denied by a great clearance by a defender as he was about to slide the ball home. Not long afterwards Lions level, zero tackle put in by our midfield, ball to Flemming edge of the box past Woodman level.
To be honest they probably deserved it, certain gave them the edge, they were the only side in it for the rest of the half, corners, long throws they went for the jugular but didn't find it and at half time it was all square.
One interesting fact emerged was that South Africa had managed to rack up well over 200 runs in the time we sat down 30 minutes before kick off and half time.
The second half was a non event the Lions sat deep and were content to try and catch us on the break, don't recall either keeper being forced into action as the game as a spectacle died. And by the looks of it should have had a penalty late on but some you get some you don't
There was a welcome return for a substitute appearance by Ched Evans after 7 months out but that was about that. Take a point Saints on Wednesday night, will be a different type of game to this one.
