Another chant for you Saint:

'We all dream of a team of Peter Smiths' to the tune of Yellow Submarine. ;D

Maybe we should have a thread devoted to potential Saints chants!

[Saint]

Sounds like a good idea to me D! ;D

Nice chant aswell!

[Saint]

FT 0-0.

Someone on the Worcester forum saying Bastock was motm.

[bovysaint]

Worcester were the better team in the first half - we couldn't string more than 1 or 2 passes together and we did not trouble their keeper (either of them).

I thought that the yellow card waved at Adam Everitt was a bit harsh.

The second half was a much more even affair but if it wasn't for a brilliant double save from Bazza we would probably of lost.

A point gained my thinks.

[Daedalus]

I didn't realise that you were at the game Bovysaint.

Someone who was at the game said much the same to me and also indicated that Bazza was man of the match.

[Saint]

Well done lads on getting the draw.

Just 3 more points needed to beat our points score from last season.

[bovysaint]

I was there D - I'm still drying out fella!!

Bazza made some fantastic saves again today and gets my vote for Man of the Match.

[Boomer]

6 wins, 2 draws and only 1 defeat from the last 9. Also 6 clean sheets in the last 9. You can say what you like but that is excellent form.

Still only 5 points off the play offs. All to play for.

Worcester City manager Carl Heeley told BBC Hereford and Worcester:

"I have known Paul [Bastock] for many years and he was the sole reason they got a point today.

"I thought he was outstanding and he denied us on numerous occasions.

"You acknowledge people's good performances and he is an old mate so I have just said to him: 'Well done, I thought you earned your side a point today.'"

Good photograph of Bazza working his magic on Robert Walkley's website (click on the link below):

The photographs make it look as though it was a very scrappy and physical game.

great pix!

The Worcester News report here. According to my sources, the Adam Everitt incident with their GK was a 50/50 challenge and definitely not 'studs up'. You wonder how accurate the rest of the report is. Cue bovysaint.

[bovysaint]

Lets put it this way Boomer the challenge by Adam on their (replacement) keeper was simply 2 players going for the same ball.

It was unfortunate that Adam's knee caught the keeper under the chin.

I would probably have to agree with the majority of the report and conceed that Worcester were the better team on the day.

[Daedalus]

Obviously I wasn't there but the pictures make the Everitt challenge just look like a 50/50 to me.

The St. Albans Review report has it down like this:

A minute from the interval Everitt, again supreme in the air in defence, stretched to reach Jake Beecroft’s clever free kick deep into the penalty area, but in so doing collided with Meredith, catching the keeper under the chin with his right knee.

Everitt immediately had seven Worcester players for company and duly collected his sixth yellow card of the season, home captain Graham Ward was also cautioned following his robust reaction to the incident.

Having caught the unfortunate Meredith there was little doubt that Everitt was in trouble but also there can be no doubt that he had every right to go for the ball as it fell midway between himself and the keeper.

Herts Advertiser report. James Ronayne seems to see it as a something and nothing incident.
