Great to see us win again (been a long time for me personally), good result and a precious three points.
A real game of two halves! First half was poor, Dunstable seemed comfortable in their lead and had us at arms length.
Much much better after the break. We got into them a bit more with some strong early challenges setting the tone, and turned things around well.
Hopefully more of the second half on Wednesday!

Another great game of football for the spectators.
I agree Luke, visitors looked very good in the firat half, they played the full width of the pitch very well. When they tried to quicken it up and be more direct they went to shit and we responded. Thats a good win.

Have we found a new right back in Lewis thought he had an excellent second half seems more suited there than in midfield . What do I know about football was moaning about Ben Peters then he scores a really good goal and is entitled to point 2 fingers at me . We deserved to win overall but the next test is Wednesday where we definitely need to add more points .

it was as weird a game as last week, but for different reasons. First half was like a friendly, we just stood off them and let them play. It was only Daniels who seemed to want to work hard, close down and tackle. Was not what you want to see from a team in a relegation dogfight.
They obviously got a bollocking at half time, and came out much more determinedly. Just by pressing and tackling them was enough to give us the upper hand and I think we probably just about deserved the win. Peters, who otherwise was pretty anonymous, scored a super looping header and Jack scored the winner from close range.
We then managed the game so much better than last week, James taking his time ,and generally looking a lot more controlled defensively. The defensive 5 all played well, with Crosbie and Bewley deserving the plaudits for their performances.
The strange thing was that we managed to win despite a number of attacking players not being at their best.
Just as well we did win, as 5 out the 6 bottom teams all triumhed. Good that we have gone above Barton and that we have dragged several more teams into the mix.
As others have said, now need to build on it on Wednesday

We could easily have been 3 nil down in 45 mins if we had stretched ourselves by chasing everything like puppies. We made sure we stayed in the game and gave ourselves a chance of winning. Tactics and execution were bang on this week. |

I couldn't make the game yesterday but what a great three points. No surprise Ethan Holt scored against us and seems like Callan kept us in it again during the first half.
It's looking extremely tight in the league now and I dare say some of the 'midtable' teams are now nervously looking over their shoulders. Lots of points up for grabs this month and let's hope we can get to February with a bit of breathing room!!
