We dug in when we had to, rode our luck at the back on a couple of occasions and as usual our final ball let us down more than once so 0-0 at HT was fair.
The goal was a great sweeping move with Wells having time to take a couple of touches, Bunny fluffed a one on one lofting it over when he could have carried it another 10-15 yards moments later to kill of the game and you feared it might come back to bite us.
At the death the Dog Heads had a couple of chances but they didnt have their shooting boots on thankfully, Steer made a couple of fine saves and clearances from a poor Huddy back header, a parry that they blasted over from close range. Their 1800 support weren't impressed with the performance against lickle ol' Udders made it known out loud.
Certainly not the team that thumped us at home last year and cruised past us early in the season, thankfully we're neither of those either under DW and he had fight and spirit deserved a share of the spoils, but all 3 was a Brucey Bonus.
It's nice to get 3 points based on the performance, a better team would have punished us, they came on strong 2nd half but the introduction of Ali Baba and Elvis for Dolly and Pato was the right move.
