Expected changes but surprised to see Hippolyte and Hallam back in the side, big opportunity for them to prove their worth.

Happy with that performance.
For another makeshift side the players again looked: organised, determined and slightly more assured in possession. I also thought we put together some nice passages of play- especially in the 1st half.
I was impressed with Hippolyte’s contribution but would always prefer to see Eisa on the wing, he often looks a little lost up front. Kev still isn’t match fit and needs to managed carefully. Hallam looked good first half at the tip of the diamond and made some clever runs. Still think we need to try and create some more chances in a game though.
Defence was solid enough and good to see Rowe and O’Malley get some game time, fast becoming my first choice full backs. Clarke to his credit looked better at CB again. Concerning to see Mcghaey go off though.
Special mention has to go Spence though- I thought that was an outstanding display and the lad deserves full credit. Butt and Keane would have been proud in the stands.

When I saw the team sheet, I thought it was not the best, but they played very well, and possibly shaded posession, but did mot create many chances, so in faioness, a draw was a fair result. These are my rating marks for the team, some might noy agree, but I think they are very fair.
Howard–7–A bit unsure with a few crosses, a poor punch for their goal, but ok.
O’MALLEY—7—Played well and is due a run, forms a good pairing with Rowe.
BEDEAU—7–Looked very safe and defended well, parynered McgAHEY VERY WELL.
MCGAYHEY–7– Good defensive work, and kept the Salford players very quiet.
HIPPOLITE—7—The best I have seen him play, good to watch, some key through balls.
ROWE–7—Played very well (see O’Malleys comments).
HALLAM—5—Did not see a lot of him to be honest, maybe needs playing time.
SPENCE–8–Got through some very goodwork.
GILLIESD—8—Again my MOM, I hope we can get him sorted on a lomg term contract.
KVV—7—Really worked hard and we have missed him.
EUSA—5—Nice penalty, but he really is not playing well, lost it since last season.SUBS—ALL 6.
REF—8—Had a good game, Hippolyte booking was wrong, bit the ref did not award diving like most of them do.
COX—7—The team played very well and deserved their point, I hope that he gives O’Malley and Rowe an extended run in the team, but in general, well done today, and some supporters were over the moon after our game against Cambridge on Tuesday, EVEN THOUGH WE WERE BATTERED BY THEM, BUT TODAY WE REALLY PLAYED VERY WELL.
SALFORD BENCH—2–i recorded 41 verbal “fuck’s” from them during the 98 mins, they poor standard and it sounded to be all from the same lunatic.
Stonewall penalty, no doubt about it.
Spence MOM by a country mile. Hippolyte played well too. Clarke definitely a better centre half than fullback these days.

Just a great point today, well done guys a rare but welcome draw, let’s just crack on with three more wins we should be fine, but I’ll settle for seven. Hope MaGahey is not going to be out for another long spell, with Taft out till next season and Manny still struggling we don’t need anymore centre back problems. When you see the gap between us and our struggling fishy fans, becoming adrift at the foot of league two, t just shows how we have kicked in despite injury problems since beating the Cods. Well done all round at GP.
Sorry pressed quote not edit.😂If you can’t see Spence as MOM find the nearest optician .He was outstanding
Exactly the reaction you’d hope for from any player you managed. Cox seems to have decided that Karacan/Beestin is his best CM pairing, Spence has certainly challenged that opinion. If only all players responded that way, well done Lewis, you’ve set the standard for the rest of the squad.
