What a shame we didn't get the deserved second goal, we had some good chances but now we go into Monday having to give our best performance of the season.

Tom showing why he will always be a club legend, how long had been on the pitch when he won the penalty, a minute or so? What an impact from him!

Yes, we could have and maybe should have picked up all the points today at the end, but I would have taken a point before the game and with Rugby losing and Gresley getting hammered, out of the relegation zone for the first time since what must be the second week of the season, and a larger GD advantage opening up again, it hasn't been a bad afternoon for us.

Got to say I thought the whole team did very well today, they made a team challenging for promotion look average, we were competitive all over the pitch and didn't allow them to play or create much going forward. Loughborough's form is mixed of late, but they still had scored 2 or more goals in their last 9 matches, so to hold them to just 1 scrambled 80th minute goal and get a point is extremely respectable, so huge credit to the team today!

I thought we played the best I've seen us for a long time. What a saving tackle in the first half, when the keeper should have raced out and cleared.

It's a massive result. Regardless of performance, its a point gained snd drags us out of the bottom two for the first time since August.

We made them look average, our best performance of the season.

Once again the referee was shocking, I honestly don’t know what it would have took to give a decision in our favour (other than the penalty) we should have asked him to show us if he was wearing a blue shirt under his referee top!

If we play like we have the last two games against Harborough I fancy us to get at least a draw, and hopefully a stalemate in the Gresley vs Rugby game.
