A good win today, nothing spectacular but then it wasn't need to. What a great header off the line that was by their number 2.

Well done to all at Potton for pulling out the stops to host us

One of the best if not the best away venue's of the season, even if they did have some joey supporter wannabe in red!

He was very funny! Best opposition supporter we've seen this season IMO.

I would endorse that. Well done Potton. Crowd 514, so at least 475 travelling fans I reckon.

Funniest bit was when he climbed over the fence after their 'goal' and then had to go back

Thought the set up at potton was excellent, although walking through a manure field? :lol:
Ground and facilities excellent, one of the best i've been too this season anyways, pitch in great condition...Great burger van, just a shame about the weather!!

Big well done to the lads on a great win, had nothing to worry about after the half time whistle, didnt think potton was that threatening, and to be honest even after that goal they never caused much of a threat...Well done to Sam Brown, who i thought was excellent all game, and also to King who once again took control of the midfield.

Well done to the singers today, great atmosphere even when you were baiting the couple of potton guys :D ...

Hope Gilly is ok, hamstring trouble wasn't it?? Even better that Eynesbury drew :lol:
Roll on Tuesday!!!

The pitch was awfully bumpy and uneven, which seemed to make our players over or under hit the ball. Having said that it was a good standard, if a little nervous looking, win. Once the second goal went in we settled down and started to play with confidence.
Onwards and upwards, 1 down two to go.

I thought we looked far better after we made the formation change midway through the second half. Midfield looked more solid, Aaron King could get forwards more without exposing central midfield, and Alfie looked at home making runs down the right, and he linked up well with Joe Merrill. Jake Newman could then focus on the left channel where he is at his best. It reminded me of how we played with 10 men against Oadby.

It might have been helped by Potton tiring, or their offside goal might have been a wake-up call, but we need to play like that for 90 minutes in the next two games.
