Going to be another tough game, Stourbridge are for me the ones to watch in the chasing pack for the playoffs. Been going very well of late and right at the top of the form guide with us.

It certainly will be tough, having watched them recently they are not to be taken lightly and though following a dreadful first 2/3 months of the season may have left themselves a little to much to make the playoffs they can have a big impact on who does looking at their reminding fixtures.

And tough it was, playing against 11 plus a ref who blew every time they shouted ( handball mostly) and who missed the most blatant red card offence I've seen this season. We're also tough and came up with the goods when it mattered.
First half was mostly up in the air, but second half we improved and took the points.
Keep up the good work lads.

That was an absolute shocking decision, how he didn't even see it as a foul was beyond me. You cannot leave the air and plot through a player in today's game and the best thing to come out of that is that tshikuna didn't receive any sort of injury. Stourbridge looked the most threatening in the first half with the wind behind them, styche is obviously a threat up top, so was happy to see us go in level at half time. We came out the traps brilliantly in the second and although it was a keeping error for the second, you take them all day. Every player played their part today with top performances, but Ben Diamond deserves credit again for his new found roll in centre mid, his energy and determination adds well to his natural ability and skill. Another great win that has rejuvenated the fans and great to see most of the fans stay behind to applaude the players off. Play offs is a real possibility now, having turned it around from a poor start.

You could tell in the first 15-20 minutes that Stourbridge were a team in form. Passing the ball about as well as they could on that pitch and posing a threat, albeit without troubling Snedker much. Once we rode out that early pressure, we grew in to the game and started to pose a threat.

A gift for Collard and a lovely finish from Nathan to secure another big 3 points. Stourbridge were really wound up by the end which made it all the sweeter. Ceaseless moaning from Gibraltar international Styche and Vaughan - who I think played against us in our final game at Nene Park for Kidderminster - did his fair share as well.

Couldn't begrudge Collard his MOM, but Ben Diamond put in a hell of a shift again.
