I agree, it wasn't our top performance - but I'd say its the kind of performance that wins promotions. Win when you play badly, I'll take that !! :D

Called in at the ground earlier, I dropped Sam's dad over to pick up his car - the pitch looks good for Saturday - fingers crossed the weather gods will smile on us.

Well he survived my driving to the hospital ;) He's hoping its deep bruising and nothing worse, nothing broken according to the x-ray. I think he's in pain from what his dad said, but will be along to cheer on the lads on Saturday - hopefully 24/48 hours of rest will see it settle down a bit, but I'd think he's out for at least 2 weeks, and thats assuming it is just bruising and nothing more serious.

Having seen the video highlights it was a bad tackle and the guy deserved to be sent off - the ball doesn't move, he simply went through Sam - shocking that the two officials missed it, but hey, they can only give what they see eh? We move on !!

Mal's pics show how close Sam Brown came to stopping the Rothwell goal - and how he wasn't far from handling it either. Had he done so he wouldn't have been on the pitch for that tackle a few minutes later - and only missed a single game in a fortnight as a result ....
