Its a good team performance when there is no obvious man of the match in a game you have won. I couldn’t pick one today. Strong in defence, lots of energy in midfield and three goals scored. Manager clearly enjoys this set up and we are accumulating points so lots of positives. One negative was the standard of the officials who unfortunately let themselves down today. Very poor!

The complete plonker in the middle was the 🤡 who was on the line and missed that offside on January 1st last year. He was completely out of his depth but sadly loved the attention he was receiving. The Lino on the Clubhouse side wasn’t much better and just did whatever their No 5 shouted for. A good hard earned 3 points on what is becoming a very difficult pitch to play football on, if it’s got the number of games on it over the next couple of weeks I was told today I hope we have no rain coming or it will be totally f......k.

With three teams above us, and two below, us losing it was a pretty damn good day at the office.

I thought we were strong all over the pitch and deserved that - we dropped deep and let them into the match a bit, but that’s a minor grumble.

Well done guys, a well earned 3 points, more of the same next week please !!

Very good performance all round today, slightly disappointing not to keep a clean sheet though as I thought we dominated and deserved one. Really like the formation and set up we're playing with since the new signing (who looks a really good fit!).
And the ref..... better not to comment at all.
