    When you come back from two goals down to draw it's so much better than the opposition equalising. For half an hour in the second half we mullered them. Pulse quickening stuff. Two great goals and substitute appearance by Jacob Brown that was just wonderful. Plenty of chances to win it, but a couple at the end to lose it too.

    First half and the opening period of the second half were very poor. No energy in the team. When we were on the front foot in the second half, Moncur played a prominent role, but for almost an hour he was anonymous, a passenger. There were dozens of songs about Potts but every cross he attempted hit the first man. Pinnock gave it away consistently, including for their first.

    We missed Bradshaw's energy. I don't care how much you want to deny it, we did. Moore worked his nuts off as usual but he had no back up. Moore and Bradshaw have started four games together in which we haven't conceded a goal. They've both had a go at partnering Moncur and in those two games we've conceded five. It's not a coincidence. When they played together they worked hard in tandem. Without the other they're on their own and all that happens then is that they get tired.

    Didn't go today but I always doubted moncur could replace tom bradshaw. Many on here didn't rate him but he fit our style perfect. Hope Woodrow has similar energy.

    Agree with all of that @Jay. I try really hard to give Moncur a chance to get behind him. But for all his fancy footwork he offered little end product and nothing when we weren't in possession.
    Best way I can describe i think is he flatters to deceive. Me and my mates call him the lower league Ozil.

    I concur over Moncur, Sorry, he has the heart of a pea.

    Jacob Brown, I hope the lad can step up from this as the season goes on. Looked the business today.

    Summed up far better than I've been trying to.
