Review
What a relief to see a goal after a turd of a first-half and a lot of missed attempts in the second half. Finally though, after a Grabban miss on the line, James Garner stabbed home for the opening goal and then Ryan Yates carefully let an inswinging corner hit him before hitting the net. Relief all around the City Ground, in front of the largest home gate so far this season.
