Some games are so uneventful that even journalists can’t write enough rubbish to make a match report. Such a game was our goalless Reserve draw with Wigan at Kingston Park. It was a game of very few chances, with returnee Pav Srnicek making a couple of fine saves and preserving a clean sheet, while at the other end Mike Pollitt only really had one save to make, from Carl Finnigan.
