A RARE opportunity to stand on the terraces took us back to those wonderful times before all-seater grounds but did Wanderers really have to turn the clock back to the bad old days?

I never thought I would see a Sam Allardyce team cave in so pathetically as they did in the first half. They'd looked the better team, created a couple of chances then bang! Jaaskelainen tries some bizarre clearance and the walls come tumbling down. The second goal was a mess and the third was invited by a defence that's taken to playing the offside trap, which is always a dangerous game.

Full marks for the fightback but the damage had been done.

Typical Wanderers. We go into the game with an unbeaten record and they haven't won at home. It's a recipe for an upset.

Should we really be surprised? We've had a great start to the season but in our heart of hearts we know we aren't really that good. We have good players who are capable of winning games but who haven't performed consistently. We've had good performances and we've had some pretty poor ones too.

At least we've got Ricardo back. He perked things up a lot when he replaced Hansen and looked even more dangerous late on when he switched to the left wing.

It's amazing to think that when there's so much talent in the team that it takes an old man like Ian Marshall to show the way. Is he still not on a contract? If he isn't he should be before he goes somewhere else.

His first goal was a bit scrappy but he did well setting up the second for Ricketts and his equaliser was stunning. At that point I'd have put money on him getting his hat-trick.

But another late goal - we obviously haven't learned our lesson from the Gillingham game - scuppered any chance of that.

Man of the Match: Ian Marshall
