Fantastic entertainment. Although disappointing not to win you can not say Solihull did not deserve something for their 2nd half showing. McCallum brilliant as always. And the referee was superb.

Classic game of 2 halves today. Really on it first half and Solihull the better team by far second half.
Probably a bit relived to get a point in the end. After Solihull's equaliser they looked like they could well go on and win
Paul McCallum looks to have the golden boot sewn up!

Solihull were terrible in the first half hour, otherwise they might have won.
We made a few changes and did quite well - Reeves was left wing-back again and I still don't think it suits him, hard as he tries. Macca with some great finishing as usual. The other player who impressed me was Croll, I didn't think he started well here, but under KD he seems to have improved.
Another mention for Mr.Barnes - considering the weather, that was another really good pitch to play on!
Four points from three games this week against teams in the top seven is a reasonable return. We're now seven points clear of the bottom four (and only twelve points behind Solihull). To show how competitive the league is this year, Chesterfield lost 1-4 at Dorking Wanderers today, who climbed out of the bottom four as a result. Looks like several teams are as inconsistent as we are. No letting up!

answering my own question: it was announced on Facebook as 2,086 (94 away)
I notice in the KD interview he said that the players looked tired near the end of the game. I remember RH saying that too.
How does that happen? Are we over-training or have we just got a lot of players who can't last 90 minutes? Solihull didn't seem to have that problem, and they'd also played three games in a week. Looked to me as if we were on the back foot from the start of the second half. Solihull upped the pace and we were struggling.
