Diary - Saturday 28 October 2006

28 October 2006

A second clean sheet of the season looks as far off as ever, but Town claim a creditable point at Peterborough - having actually led twice despite playing more than half the game with ten men. Gary Jones is the 11th, dismissed after 37 minutes for an alleged stamp on Peter Gain, but the scoring is opened by Ciaran Toner early in the second half. The inevitable Fen Butcher goal cancels out the lead, Peter Bore restores it, and Trevor Benjamin makes it two each 11 minutes from the end. Last-minute loanee Kevin James, brought in from Forest five minutes after yesterday's Diary went up, debuts in Town's midfield four. The point keeps GTFC 21st in the fourth division (or 89th in the leagues, if you really love the misery) but should go some way to restoring morale after last weekend's play-off-final-esque surrender against Notts County.

One of the worst imaginable outcomes for Town in the draw for the first round of the FA Cup, meanwhile, as Rodger's battlers will lose heavily at third division Northampton on Saturday 11 November.
