Let's hope they don't draw today. By same token let's hope Anstey lose today.

Should have Dave and Dallas back for this one and probably the Duffy replacement (who didn't play for Rugby on Saturday).
I a really optimistic for a win and even expect the goals to come from our strike force.

A wins a win. And a clean sheet. But when are we going to see goals from our strikers or are we playing a new system of only defenders being allowed to score.

I’d say our pitch is playing a big part for open play goals. Must be a strikers worst nightmare. Still Bruno should have just took his chance with his right foot first time

Good first half for us, rode our luck in the second half, but a wins a win.

A scraped over the line goal and having to rely on a Lewis Elsom masterclass in the second half, probably the ugliest win you'll ever see, but it is a win and congrats to Elliot, the staff and team for getting that first win!
Ironically I actually thought we played better against Rugby, but would always prefer points over performances. I think the most concerning thing was the lack of good chances we created, yes the pitch is dry as a bone, but that didn't stop Bedworth having a real good good at us in the second half. Our strikers just aren't getting the service, not sure how many shots our strikers have made in these first few games, but it can't be many.
Bruno continues to be the star man of the attack and while that is back to back games where he hasn't been able to convert a 1-1, but it is a positive that he is getting himself into those positions, I'm sure Elliot as a striker himself will be helping him to make better decisions in similar situations in the future.
Will need to improve to be challenging with the best in this division, but 5 points from our first 3 games and 8th spot is a really promising start.
