Football eh. We have not been great. But have taken our chances against a poor dons defence. 

Davor and mosses off for vale and slattery/sparrow.

From the comments during the week, I'm not sure Slattery has 45 minutes in him yet. He was one of the players we've been desperate to get playing in the bounce games that keep getting cancelled.

Would hook Davor though, as refs often look for chances to "even things up", especially after soft red cards.

It's not enforced, very often, but the rule on violent conduct includes an "attempt" and doesn't need to connect:

Violent conduct is when a player attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.

So by the strict letter of the law, if the ref thought that he tried (but failed) to headbutt Watt with excessive force, then he can give a straight red.

When did we ever do comfortable wins? We know what's going to happen this half....

TBF, it's rare any team gets a comfortable win in this league. There's not much to choose between 4th and 10th right now.

I'm just glad we got the 2 goal lead before half time.
