The only thing that worries me is that in previous games where we have had a poor half, Starms half-time talk hasn't worked and we haven't improved in the 2nd half, Hope this changes because we need at least a draw from this
Well it did change becasue we were a different team in the second half. From the kick-off i sensed we could get back in it and we did. Shame we could'nt hold on for the win and on reflection of the whole game i think that was the right result. Might have been a defeat if it was'nt for Foulger's save just before their equaliser!

Whilst it's a shame we've managed to grab a draw from the jaws of victory, I'd have taken a draw at half-time. I honestly think we were the better team overall and we showed great character to turn it around like that. Perhaps we needed another experienced head on the pitch at the end to see it out although we are somewhat lacking in those. The referee didn't help matters, especially in the first-half when he gave some really strange decisions.

The only real concern for me tonight was consistent failure to win the loose ball in midfield, particularly in the first half. If we're going to win our remaining games and gain promotion every player is going to have to be at it from the first minute. Alfie for example played really well in the second half but where was he in the first? Oadby and Eynesbury become huge games if they weren't already. I believe it's no longer in our hands? Its crazy to think that we could win every remaining game and fail to get promoted with our playing record, but other clubs inability to take anything from Sileby/Oadby is the worry.

That crazy minute in which we scored 2 goals will live long in the memory that's for sure. I absolutely lost it.

Ill take that, just need to play both halfs.

Some of the sileby directors hardley covered them self in glory with the equaliser, glad we are proper supporters and showed restraint.

All in all title/promotion race is still on.

IF we win all reminding games and so do Oadby apart from losing to us obviously then i think they would still be 1 point ahead of us?

Yeah I corrected myself before you wrote that. ;)

We're relying on someone to take something off Oadby. I'm on my phone at the moment, is anybody able to post their remaining fixtures? They do have a lot of games to play so that might work in our favour.

I don't know about you but I went f******* mental when our goals went in! All they did was celebrate, it's hardly crime of the century. We give it out so have to take it as well.

Two key games in April would be Eynesbury v Sileby on the 6th and Oadby v Eynesbury on 13th. Not sure who we'd want to win, think we'd have to hope for draws!
