It was a diamond formation and was rubbish, not sure what starms was thinking but dont want to see that formation again

Thoughts go out to guy in the stand, was horrible to see

Attended to by the ambulance people and left in a chair. I hope he's OK.

Apparently he was a diabetic, was in the ambulance in the car park for around half an hour! But to the game, I think we should be happy with the 3 points! Ok maybe not the ideal formation but we can't be expected to dominate and win by 4 or 5 goals every match, it's down to us to show character and win 1-0 sometimes and that's what we did tonight! It shows we have promotion potential, to win "ugly"!

I think the formation was to accommodate Mcbride, Harris and King all together
It didn't really work so he changed it and we got three points
I'll take that

I'm glad Starms changed it. I would have at half-time but I suppose it was worth experimenting with 4-3-3 but there was a total lack of width in our play for nearly 65 minutes and Wizz and Gearing's introduction made us more dangerous in attack. Nice to see the defence get another clean sheet.

Phew, thank goodness that evening is over with !! :o

I hope the gentleman who fell ill is okay, thankfully the ambulance was on-site quickly and aid given, so fingers crossed he'll be fine, our good wishes go out to him.

Great to get a sixth clean sheet in a row, another 3 points, sadly Eynesbury and Oadby did likewise, but we can only do what we can and winning was vital. Another win on Saturday will set up a massive game next Tuesday - fingers crossed next two games will see another 6 points and us really starting to put some pressure on Sileby.

I too wish the gentleman all the very best who fell ill last night. Fingers crossed it isn,t too bad and lets hope it,s not too long before he makes a full recovery.

Very frustrating night with the lights last night, but well done to everybody who got them sorted out as quick as we could.

Well done everyone.

Cheers H, the loss of power messed you about a bit too didn't it - glad I had my rather excellent grub early on :D

Also, a good win for your lads last night - game on for both clubs eh? You to stay up (I think you will) us for promotion (I'll let you know on that one after next Tuesday).

Just out of interest, what plans are in place for a floodlight failure or similar happening that can't be sorted? Would the supporters simply be given their money back as they leave the ground? Would the game be refunded to ST cards?
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....
