Town would have secured automatic promotion to League One with victory and they dominated the second-half, especially after Max Dyche had cancelled out Andy Cook’s 30th-minute opener.

A lovely pass created Bowie's big chance and was then so close to reaching the same man's cutback and tapping home... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
