Play to the whistle

Last updated : 23 September 2002 By Bob Gear
I reckon we had about 800 at the match and we did get behind the team. We were no threat at all up front, but I thought we looked better at the back.

As for the goal, well as Jon said, play to the whistle, but when
the lino is waving his flag to get every ones attention its difficult! I
said to Jon at half time I thought it was a back pass.

Difficult to say much more about the game, we had a great day out in
Rotherham, drinking and chatting to the locals.

My player stats would be

Petterson - 4 Nothing wrong but no confidence
Watson - 5 much better at right back
Mayo - 5 solid but unspectacular
Cullip - 5 solid
Butters - 5 solid but moves about like an articulated lorry
Piercy - 6 looks a reasonable play
Chippy - 8 my MOTM by a mile again
Oatway - 4 created nothing
Hart - 6 enthusiastic but didn't look threatening
Marney - 5 like Hart
Jones - 4 is out for a few weeks now so not a concern any more

Grimsby will be make or break for Hinshelwood. Lose that and goodbye. Not
saying its right or wrong but sadly 8 defeats on the trot is not very good!
