What they Said
โThis was a game we dearly wanted to win.
โWe did everything but score in the second half and I have no complains about the way the lads played.
โI am disappointed that we have dropped another point but with 11 games to go I still believe we have an excellent chance for promotion.
โThe lack of goals is worrying but I am sure we will get back on the goal standard very shortly.โ
Vic Crowe.
