Probably a fair result overall. They had us pinned back for quite long periods. Lots of wrestling and shirt-pulling, particularly from them (though our lads caught on after a while too!) Ref seemed not to mind too much at first, then a flurry of yellows in the second half. Shame we missed that...

No PL matches scheduled, so hopeful. Depends on Sunderland, of course.
