Sorry but I can't agree with your comments about Lorraine. I thought we looked more likely to score when he came on and he ran his socks off.

That's got to be the best home performance all season (excluding games against the rubbish teams at the bottom of the league). Makes a nice change to leave the Dog & Duck with smiles on our faces. If we can keep up that level of performance I'm sure we'll reach our target.

I noticed Dolman was hobbling during most of the second half. I sincerely hope he's OK for Monday.

Yea he caused problems did Tom Lorraine when he came on, more than jack bowen did who doesn't look the same player as last season. Farrell and Quigley were outstanding in the midfield as was Bunting until he had to go off, Oulton then carried on where he left off and was unlucky to not get on the score sheet. Another mention has to go to Matt Finlay who again proved why he's number one, didn't have a lot to do the first half until they were awarded a penalty. Even though it was tame, he still had to guess the right way to keep it out. Also made a great save from their free kick late on. Taylor orosz also worked his socks off when introduced, so I'd think peaksy will be having a selecting headache ahead of Monday. Also greenaway with razor-toothed, that it was the team has played at home this season.

Quigley swung his boot at one when he'd been on the pitch all of 7 seconds against Northwich but passed up the very same opportunity in the first half yesterday. Have a pop and you never know what might happen!

I think that was very true on Saturday. The Newcastle goalkeeper was hardly the safest pair of hands, making some very questionable punches. We should have tested him more than we did.
