Just a suspicious of handball for the goal but a fantastic result, ground out the result in difficult conditions, but my is the pitch really struggling at the moment!

[The pressman]

On a dreadful pitch that was a very hard watch and an awful game of football. The passing and clearances from both sides were woeful!

BUT 3 points is 3 points and fair play to the lads who battled away in very difficult conditions. The GK looked good but please be a bit quicker on the kick outs. David looked excellent again, you have to admire his positioning and anticipation. Good to see Dallas back to his old self and the 'goalscorer' didn't look too bad either - I just love how he hangs back on the edge of the area at set pieces and then explodes into action.

Still feel the midfield needs sorting out. Corden for Calvin Green is an absolute must for me.

However the important points is that I reckon that another 7 points should see us safe from relegation although but to be honest we probably have enough points now!

When Jarvis is back i would like to see Ryan at rt back and David in midfield for his creativity

Nathan appeared lost for words after his debut goal!!!

Great performance from the lads yesterday, everyone put in a shift from
back to front. First half was hard going but I felt the game livened up in the second and was a decent watch.

New keeper looks quality, my first look at a few of the other new lads too and all good additions.

Very clear that the attitude is right to move up the table, feeling much more reassured after recent results.

[Three of Diamonds]

A good battling second half performance which deserved the 3 points as Rugby were a poor outfit. It was never going to be a game for pure football, but at least we did try and pass it around from time to time. With a bit more composure in the box it could and should have been more. Jamz needs to look for his team mates when breaking into the box as a couple of times he tried to go alone when there were options.
I didn't see where the possible hand ball was, it was clever of Nathan to stay on the ground after missing his header to back heel the ball into the net .
I think that's possibly the poorest game I've seen Charlie have as he's been superb all season, but he still contributes with an assist.
Next target is 40 points and current ppg could see us get 50. I challenge the team to do better
