4-2

5-2, great goal from Lance

Oadby Town 2-2

Well that make it interesting. If Oadby win their two games in hand then, all three of us will be on the same points!!

Ft 5-2, one of the best performances I've seen from them in the second half all season, they looked like scoring every time they came forward, great victory!

The only minus point is that we've gained nothing in terms of Goal Diff on Sileby

If ever a substitution was inspiring then it was today in the form of Aaron king. Some sublime touches and a deft touch to set up Taylor for his second even if the substitution was a forced one. Just hope that Parkinson will be ok as Deaks is suspended for Raunds next week

Yeah Kingy certainly shows from time to time why Liverpool gave him a go a few years back, he was very good today, shame he's fallen to such a low level and he isn't quite consistent enough, but he definitely looks a lot better than UCL Division 1.

Was very pleased to see Eynesbury get what must have been quite a late equaliser and unless Oadby slip up in one of their 2 games there's 3 teams level on points, though I wanted them to lose that one today as there's not many more games left now where either Oadby or Sileby can slip up, it would be pretty painful if we missed out on promotion on goal difference but its looking very possible currently.

Good result after a much improved second half performance
I thought King was great today when he came on, his creativity and passing was crucial today.
On to the moan/rant, their penalty shouldn't have been given, even the linesman said that he wouldn't have given it and he'd have been more likely to give us a free kick! (altough he said afterwards that 'officially' he had to agree with the referee's decision).
Good result though we still need other teams to do us a favour or that goal difference could do us in at the end of the season

Thought the second half was a lot better than the first, cracking goal from Alfie though, and Kingy definitely made a difference when he came on.

Lance also took his goal well, Bourne looked very good going forward I thought, but they were two silly goals to give away.
