We played some very nice stuff in patches. Dominated and controlled the whole first half.

Revs was about to make an attacking change when we scored (and was about to make changes when they scored too) and I was very confident we would see it out as we actually looked solid at the back today.

Then they scored from a shot through bodies from 20 yards, where Marschall was either unsighted or just slow to react yet again (a common theme), then a header from a corner minutes later.

Good spirit from us again to salvage a point, but definitely feels like 2pts dropped today, however the weather was insane so hard to judge that second half as it could easily have been stopped because the ball was not running at all, and water was splashing up everywhere when players ran!

I am feeling we may score more goals now though. Sanderson, Mellon and Magennis all look like very good signings. They look keen, they make dangerous and intelligent runs, they get infront of the defender to the ball (brilliant run and header from Sanderson). They are all the opposite of Reid, who has frustrated us with his attitude and lack of motivation for ages, and has been defended for getting "no service", yet the others are showing that if you actually move and make runs rather than just jogging alongside your marker or throwing yourself to the floor, the ball will find you.

Thought TvC looked a lot more like the player we know today too, no doubt helped by playing alongside Luther (and Pidge) again, who he knows so well. Yet we still conceded twice, and we really need to sort ourselves out defensively to take advantage of potentially scoring more goals.

But despite feeling it is two points dropped today, I am a lot more confident going forwards than I was pre-match.
