0-0 at half time the closest either side came to a goal was a John Cofie shot which hit the bar
 
some decent performances. Cofie has good ability. Very unlucky not to score.
 
0-0 both teams just completely cancelled eachother out
 
A few words on individual performances?

Keane looked good up top. Had a good effort in the second half from just outside the box from an angle - might have been saved onto the post (no decent angle)

Cofie showed some nice things - unlucky not to score. Ravel out the box chiped one over their defence, their defender was favorite to clear it - but he managed to wrap his leg around the defender and hit a shot that hit the far post - went to ravel who couldn't control his finish

Raval missed another half chance - their goalkeeper struggling to deal with a cross, it came to ravel at a height and his body shape was all wrong - the ball ended up flying way over the bar

Tunnicliffe was what you'd expect. Ravel was prominant through out and maybe should have taken one of those chances.

Brady did well, putting in a few good balls

As people say, we canceled each other out and there were few, if any top draw saves.

A few shots from distance from ajose who came on for Cofie in the second half that went straight at their goalkeeper

Our defenders played well - no silly mistakes and hussain was pretty good.
