Apart from the first ten minutes of the first and second half and the glorious final ten minutes, there were whole stretches of the game that were a yawn-fest. It was clear that BHA had come for a bore-draw or maybe capitalising on sending one or other of our players to sleep and nicking a solitary goal. To think I voted for Graham Potter in the manager poll. Perhaps the club is under-resourced and he's doing the best with what he has, but we may have dodged a bullet there.Positive for me was that we didn't wilt in the final stages - makes such a change from blowing smoke out of our arses after 70 minutes in far too many games.

Far too many mistakes and giving the ball away far too much. Those last 10 minutes were brilliant though and if Bailey's volley had gone in,I think the roof would have come off!
Mid-table? We were 16th, and they were 7th before the match.
