Not the real one
I only heard it on the radio, but it sounds as though we held our own. Billy Paynter seemed to make a difference when he came on. Johnny Canton said that it looked like Paynter and CMS have played together for years.

Gus said that too. Infact he said it looked like they'd played together for 10 years. Could start on Tuesday.

Just back from the game. Thought we were better second half. Neither side created much in the way of chances, but we moved the ball round nicely.

Though Paynter looked like he could be good alongside CMS. Jara also looks useful - would like to see him in midfield.

A good point - certainly would have taken that before kick off.

Great support again. Not very impressed with St Andrews and their support was pretty quiet.

Very pleasing performance, especially in the second half, and a great result. Blues fans were relieved at the end to go home with a point.

Our best chance fell to CMS just outside the box and he misshit it wide but I thought there was real promise in the CMS-Paynter partnership in the relatively few minutes they played together. Not sure I'm going to enjoy Paynter's wanting to referee the match though :)

Could I just put in a word for Barnes............ Paynter brought in to threaten his place. Dropped to the bench and replaced by Buckley only to get a last second reprieve in an unfamiliar role which changed again when Paynter came on and he dropped back to central midfield. The lad ran and ran, put himself about physically, and created a couple of half chances. Had one shot on goal which was awful and his overall performance probably only merited a five or a six out of ten. But for effort and willingness to do anything the manager asks of him he gets ten out of ten from me.
