Well Nick pretty much summed it up with his 'that was the most uninteresting 90minutes ever'At half time my son said ' I don't envy you doing a match report today - nothing has happened to report on' They are both right - we did start with 2 wide player and wood on his own top with a midfield 3- as we managed to muster one shot of note all first half when Carayol lashed one goalwards ( I have said 'lashed ' to make it appear exciting !) but the keeper saved easilyThe 10,000 or so who did not return after the Hudds debacle made the right choice - this was dire. It was tepid uninteresting and not at all entertaining. Evans had promised us a team that would 'go for it' every game and one that may not win every match but would try to do so. Well not on last nights showing. The one saving grace was that that were equally bad - we were all looking to see the new keeper and what he could do, but a total lack of shots and no crosses, corners or free kicks into the box meant that he had nothing to do. The crowd gave ironic cheers for his first few kicks , a dig at Silvestri and his woeful kicking. Half time came and went and the second half was much the same with about 5 minutes worth of entertainment spread over 45 boring minutes. Taylor took an awful corner as I recall. Then something odd happened Luke Murphy turned up. He had a 5 minute spell when he was everywhere and looked like a footballer ! This culminated with him hitting a good ball over the top and Wood managed to get their before the keeper and defender and at full stretch poke it home. We had all pretty much agreed that one goal would win this match - this then changed a bit in that that would be the case if QPR had scored first but we have not won till the final whistle says we have.The game meandered on aimlessly as two clueless pointless sets of players found it impossible to create anything of note and then suddenly one of theirs ran into the box pursued by bellusci and another player. Down he went - penalty said the ref. The subsequent boos each time Bellusci touched it indicated that he was the culprit (I could not see from the other end)BPF in net had his chance to become an instant hero but the penalty was well taken and he could do nothing to keep it out. Then right at the death a long range shot came in and Wood latched onto the rebound but their keeper pulled off a fine save. So another abject home performance - I suppose a point on a Tuesday night home game is not to be sniffed at given our results over the last few seasons, but this was poor fare. then to cap it all off I got lumbered with the 'nutter on the bus' as some strange bloke decided to befriend me with his life story. Not sure where we go from here - the point is another point towards safety but this team and this club is going nowhere without basic root and branch changes Dave
