If we thought the Livi game was the ultimate in dreary we had another thing coming. The thing itself was Bobby Williamson shaped, which is pretty ugly by anyone's standards.

Having scored midweek Hartson got a well earned start, and performed pretty well. He also scored the game's only goal, slotting in Larsson's pass with the minimum of fuss.

Henke, on the other hand continued his run of poor form. If any other player was missing the kind of opportunities that he's currently passing up, lynch mobs would be forming. As it is most people are content to be mildly irritated. Of course it should be remembered that he isn't uninvolved in the game; he provided the pass for the winning goal.
