Phil opens up with a comment about Tictacs. Sometimes, the tactics have to be to be tight, concede as little as possible and come away with a creditable draw. Lose the battle to win the war. Occasionally, you hand to play the odds. For me, Scunny away is probably one such match. We've seen teams do it to us in the past. Sides coming to Plainmoor (during the Conference years particularly), sticking 11 men behind the ball and hope not to get beaten. Had these sides come to us and tried to play football, we'd have taken them to bits and dealt them a dangerous blow in terms of goal difference, morale and confidence.
A hard grafted point against Scunny will do us good in all these areas. A 4-0 spanking for the sake of 'trying to win the game' will set us back and undo everything we gained on Tuesday.

Great atmosphere to play in last night. Gutted not to get the 3 points! Hopefully take it on to Saturday's game and get 3 points!
