    The initial bloke goes on to say what he meant was our 2 goals came from hoofball, not our actual play. Personally I think both were just fantastic crosses, not hit and hope hoofball.

    But I think it's interesting seeing their perspective - myself and many others think we played much, much better in the first half, but weren't as good in the second. This bloke and others on their forums think we played them off the park that second half.

    When you look at their form, 6 wins, 8 unbeaten, 5 clean sheets, beating Portsmouth 3-0 away, Bolton 1-0 at home, they haven't lost all season from a winning position and even when we go down to 10 men, we still managed to get the win! I'm still incredulous to the fact we managed it! Brilliant result, and as usual on twitter, very underplayed and undervalued by a lot of our fans. Only lost once in 14 games, some brilliant points away at our closest rivals in the play offs recently. I genuinely believe we have a great chance at top 2.

    2nd half stats tell the story they never really tried to win that 2nd half and usually when a team holds onto lead for that long it’s easy for them to capitulate and lose as happened yesterday once the equaliser goes in.

    197 of the 199 accurate passes were between Earl and De Gevigney!
