It's an old cliche but I really believe that this was that kind of match that we would have lost in the past thanks to some lump's header around 90th minute. I was rather confident before the match but football isn't always about quality, heart and mental preparation are important as well. As much as I hate Manure they were quite solid despite fielding so many average players.
Weather and traditionally ****ty pitch suited their physical approach very well, Marriner was Marriner, crowd gave them a huge lift and I would certainly be happy with this point but only if there were no injuries... Our performance was rather scrappy, but we held our own physically and weren't bullied despite all the effort from the referee.
On the side note, I've probably never seen a match where four goals were that bad. I mean every one of them was ridiculously stupid to concede.
20 matches unbeaten, I can take this. I would never expect such quick turnaround after disastrous last season. Onwards and upwards!
