Delusional, I think, although to be fair, it did sound like Hooper and Hayes missed an absolute hatful either on their own or by Fed's saves. By the same token though, we should have probably had at least 4 or 5. Maybe he'd also like to remove the comments about Peter Clarke's supposed handball from their match report?

were you there? there was no way we could have had 4 or 5, we had two good chances, one barrett scored and one that their keeper tipped around the post from walker. They could have scored a lot of goals... and all their penalty claims were down the other end so we couldn't see them clearly. Federici made about 4 excellent saves, and there were other chances that Scunthorpe skied wide or over the bar
rubbish! we cirtainly could have had four or five!!
1. HRK's superb cross fromt he left over to the right which Betsy vollyed and towards goal and Baranard should have poked in.
2. Betsy one on one followed by revells follow up shot,
3. JFC's excellent run and shot which was saved then rebounded off his head over the bar! - very unlucky for us!
4. Hal Robson Kanu's shot from 16 yards - had space and blocked on the line.
5. Walker's shot at the end(slight deflection wide)
Make no mistake - that was an excellent performance, without some key players.
We could have won the game, the performance probally deserved it, but by the same token Scunny did miss a few headers from corners and freekicks.
Both sides looked very good, but we shaded it for me with players like JFC, HRK(despite dippping out of challenges), Sawyer, Francis and Barrett who offered a bit more quality than the players in scunthorpe's respective positions.
The Goal keeper was excellent I may add.
Saw the goals this morning and re the penalty looks as though it was awarded against Barratt. You could see him grappling with the Scunny player as the ball comes into the box. Dont know what Barratt was doing as the ball was nowhere near him when it came in.
He's got a good point about our goal. I was shocked it stood and they missed at least 3, probably 4, absolute sitters! Saying that, we had enough chances of our own and had Hal taken his chance (rather than cutting back and fannying about) at 2-0, it would have been game over.
Still, all in all a great point!

He describes as a big strong physical side, as if we're a long ball team.
