It was a real Jekyll and Hyde performance from the Bucks on Tuesday evening. They were made to suffer considerably in the first half by the visitors, who should have taken a more commanding lead into the break than they did. After the interval though Telford came out swinging, and had several chances to equalise before they eventually did in the 93rd minute. If they can reach those levels against sides in the same division they will win a lot of games.
Last season’s young player of the season has had a quiet start to pre-season by his standards, and did struggle initially against a high-quality Salop midfield. However, as the game entered its final stages the former Birmingham youngster began to shine, and crowned off a superb last 20 minutes with a delightful finish past Toby Savin to square the game up.Montel Gibson’s exit left Telford with a big hole up top, and 18 goals to replace.
