We Don’t Want Him; Jayden Stockley - Wasted two headed opportunities and looked well off the pace as he struggled to shine against the club he served on loan.

Magic Moment; Conor Chaplin’s 31st minute strike was a touch of quality, created by superb control and finished in his usual calm and collected manner.

Their Manager; Paul Tisdale - Side deserved to grab a late point as they retained second-half possession to put the visitors under constant pressure.
