Possibly the last home game at Roots Hall, before the HMRC winding up order is sanctioned on March 1st – Unless Ron Martin sorts the dosh….
First half and Gates try a risky play out from the back routine which goes badly wrong as Callum Powell has a chance and assist as the ball falls to Henry Sandat to score on just 5mins – on his full home debut! Blues stay on top and AA Ron Martin gets himself sent off on 34mins, Gates lucky to get to halfo only 1-0 Blues after Wreck-it-Ralph hits the post.
Second half and it goes a bit flat against the ten men, Gates have a few chances mainly long throw routines, Cav and Hobbo go close but Blues see it out for the 4th win in a row – incredible from the squad and management!
