GREGGS THE BAKER – 6/10 – Remember me?! On he came at the interval, and in fairness did try to rouse his comrades with a busy effort. Never quite happened but he showed more commitment than many and also earned a yellow; for pointing out the obvious.

Yet at least he injected some energy…Ladies… appearing sprightly and dangerous; weaved his way inside minutes later and after a neat 1-2, rasped a dig from the edge of the box, unfortunately right down the keepers’ throat; not unusual…Ladies, again…Here’s to seeing him get more game-time.
