    ...is how you get into the playoffs/promoted.

    We were far from our best but we still strangled the life out of them, battled and won due to a moment of real quality. If we're being honest we were a bit ****, but I was truly impressed with how much we limited them despite being off our game. It's all well and good winning games when you're on form but being able to grind out results on the inevitable off days can be the real difference maker.

    You relentless, scrapping reds.

    If we have a bad/ugly game, the opposition always look just as poor.

    We make teams look bad and pick results up. It's working!

    Brought down to their level and still won with a clean. Results like today are just as pleasing as a 3-0 win.

    Awful first half. But I actually quite enjoyed the second.

    It was scrappy, but we provided the moment of quality to win the game. Dee-Kay gets the MOTM for the goal but special mention to Morris, who was absolutely brilliant, held the ball up well, had a great game.

    Half press today. But still a resilient, hard working performance with a moment of pure quality. I think we need to break and to let everyone recharge. Cant fault work rate, effort, determination, attitude and trying to work the game plan, but looking a little leggy on the passes and i think a good recharge and rest will help us as much if not more than others.

    Spot on, let’s not forget despite their lowly position they have some very experienced campaigners in their squad who are/were quite capable of spoiling our day.

    I just hope we dont run out of steam, we're desperately in need of a week between games to give the lads a rest.

    it was enthralling kicked every ball, just wish sometimes the lads slipped a forward in instead of blasting over, but you would never get a worldy like D K's then I suppose

    Gritty performance, not quite at our best but then big Dazza hit a rocket! 3 points onto Derby.

    We use to play crap and drop points in these sort of games.

    We even used to play pretty well and still drop points through mistakes.

    Give me the wins however they come.

    Morris again was immense and never fails to make a match winning contribution but Dike gets my MotM for a terrific goal and being a constant threat for 90 minutes and he will only get better.

    We've got 4 more games then a two week international break so hopefully we can keep it going until then.

    If we are still in playoffs and in touching distance of 2nd at the international break, get ready.

    Bit disrespectful for me that. They came with a plan to play us at our own game and nullify the threat. They were as close as anyone to do it.
