Reckon MM did his homework there, looking at that pitch, having the lads practice down the seafront when the tide was out....Result !

Yeah, hardly a blade of grass to be seen.

Crucial save by the Ox at the end there.

You could tell from the sound of feet-on-ground it was sandy and rock hard.

Even watching the highlights I thought they were going to score at the end there..

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Something that is obvious with the highlights, our chances game from good football on the ground. All of theirs came from long balls forward and headers flicked on.

I was going to comment to that effect. It sounded terrible.

I was going to comment to that effect. It sounded terrible.

The way the ball bounced so high gave it away too. It must have been like playing on concrete. Players stayed down for a while if they fell heavily, their bodies must have been really jarred against that surface.
