Great result, excellent goal, but not many clear cut changes. I thought our central defenders played well, but the Coombes / Goldberg striking partnership didnt seem to work for me.

Well pleased with that result last night, particularly backing up the hard earned point at the weekend. I felt we were worthy of the three points as we created better openings with Ming in the first half and then Cosgrave and Swaine just before half time. A lot of bleating from Massivestone fans that they had a lot of the ball but what did they actually do with it apart from one almighty scramble at the start of the second half and a few late crosses into the box..?? A few of our boys look like they were struggling at the end so hopefully they will recover quickly and we can add some other options in the next few games.

Both centre halves were excellent and I can't argue with the motm award. Credit to Wilks for good handling throughout and for Ming for that brilliant clearance on the line just before we went in front. Cosgrave will always be a threat with his pace and good for him to get off the mark in the league (just as well he scored or Coombes might have been giving him an earful for not squaring the ball...!) Although it is a new team a number of them have played with each other in the past so already know the strengths and weaknesses of each other and there seems to be a good spirit amongst them on and off the pitch which I think always helps massively at this level. I would also give a shout out to Rooney - I have not always been his biggest fan but he was outstanding last night including an excellent piece of play in setting up the goal. He has come back this season fitter and stronger and showed some real quality last night. One small gripe for me is that we didn't make anywhere near enough of our aerial superiority. Virtually every long free kick into their box found the head of Swaine but we didn't react quickly enough or get close enough to him to feed on the knock downs - that could be a real source of goals as the season develops.

Would have bitten your hand off for 4 points out of 6 at this stage of the season but we need to keep pushing on as the next two games with Bath and Billericay will both be tough. Hopefully we may have some more options to include and/or strengthen the bench for those games.

Up the Wings!
