Review:
A very dull first half saw us go in 0-1 at half-time and we never really got going in the second. The defense let in three, although the third was Smith's fault. A late consolation from Osborn might have helped if we even showed some urgency in the last 5 minutes, but there was still too much time spent in our own half.
