A precious point against a very good Scunthorpe side. The Town team had been completely butchered since last Saturday, with returns for Nathan Clarke, Andy Holdsworth, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Andy Booth - plus a debut for one of our Acadamy lads, 17 year old Joe Skarz. The formation was 4-5-1 (which I hate at home, we should always start with 2 up front imo), Boothy on his own up front. Michael Collins received a elbow to the head early on which required stitches - seemed quite nasty as well.
Sounded to me like Scunthorpe had the best of the game in the main, but seeing as they are third and I had heard that they were a good side I'm not surprised, but Town were much improved.
Scunthorpe took the lead in the second half through a Matthew Sparrow effort, and, according to Paul Ogden, Scunthorpe seemed to be comfortable at that - I was worried we wouldn't get back into it, but I'm glad to say that Town weren't to be denied when in the 86th minute the Legend that is Andy Booth scored with a trademark downward header. (We had already returned to 4-4-2 by this point)
Was disappointed not to be there this afternoon, but since I got home I discovered I would have had to have got a bus back to Manchester, resulting in a later train and not getting back into Crewe until nearly 8 o'clock (Sam wouldn't have been impressed by that, he likes to be down the club by 1/2 past 7).
FA Cup action next, when we entertain Blackpool next weekend - perhaps we will finally get past the first round of a cup competition this season. Here's hoping!!
